Beautiful and rich looking. First piece to assemble was little tricky but once you understand how it works it goes smoothly. Seems quite sturdy yet very elegant style. Very comfortable too, which is the most important. One tip for assembly, dip the tip of the screw on w-40 it helps to engage it and after that use a power tool with gentle touch and thighs screws when they are all in place (that should avoid cursed words dixit my husband!!). Very pleased with the set, will more likely buy the cover for it too.
