First, I would like to say that it looks as described, I would give the finish 9 out of 10. The one complaint I hear is some people have wobbly legs, after assembly. This will not happen if you loose fit the lower half, then place legs down on an even floor and simply wiggle it level. Then tighten top section first, bottom ( foot rail ) last. Now for some advise, if you don't want to see where the piping on the seat joins, then do this. Assemble backrest to upper stage first, then take the seat and line up the piping with a side of the back to hide the piping, make sure you center the seat before securing it. Now you have a nice clean look, no chance of catching that join on anything, no wobbles, perfect assembly. I hope this helps.
