No negatives to tell about this chair. It is not premier class furniture but for the price, design, and sturdy build you wont be disappointed. Assembly is easy but do study the directions to get the legs pointed in the right direction. The chrome legs have a small rubber plug to push into the bottom as floor protection.  I used a rubber mallet to hammer them in. The bent plywood seat and back are made of well laminated plywood. The wood is close grained and smooth, birch, I think, giving the walnut finish a slightly muddy look typical of birch. If I were to order again I would opt for the natural finish in order to fully reveal the grain. If you prefer the painted chair it will have a very smooth finish over this wood. The seat fits my bottom comfortably and the back has a slight flex to reduce any sense of stiffness. The chairs are light weight enough to move around as a fill-in anywhere you need some additional seating.
