The general appearance of the chair is very nice, the color is vibrant (tangerine) , it's sturdy and was quite easy to assemble. For assembly, two people would be best but I did it alone on a work platform in approximately 40 minutes. All fasteners and tools are included and it takes considerable beef to screw in the long fasteners but this contributes to the chairs sturdiness. As stated in other reviews, the back is very straight so a back cushion is probably out.
