I bought this chair as an alternative to the Pembrooke Chair, the price of which had skyrocketed beyond what I wanted to pay.

Assembly was time consuming (beware  you’ll need to attach both the left and right arms to the base). Two of the legs had small damage in the forms of splintered wood and minute gouging. I was able to tighten and position these legs in such a way that the damage won’t be obvious. The back , which slides down into place, took several tries before I got it just right, and even with this, the backside doesn’t look as flush with the sides of the chair as I’d like. (Friendly assembly hint  put the seat cushion in place FIRST before attempting to attach the back. Not doing so will cause the cushion to protrude outwards above the base, and it’s not pretty.) Once assembled, the chair rewards you with a firm, hefty feel that belies it’s price point. Overall, I’m pleased with it.
