This chair is very well made, attractive, and has a nice substantial metal superstructure.  I look forward to using it for many years.   It required no tools to assemble and the instructions (mostly pictures) were fairly easy to follow.  It's heavy so we took it upstairs in pieces straight from the box before assembling it.  In place, it doesn't take up much room and it fits me well; I'm 5'1" and weigh about 135, so I don't get lost in it.
