This is one of the most stylish chair's I've found in ANY price range -- and thinking back at what I paid for them (I bought several) it feels criminal. They feel VERY well made (the wood is sleek, solid and gorgeous) and the leather material feels just as luxurious. They're comfortable -- not too stiff and not like a lounge chair. I feel they make us sit upright. I've paid twice as much for the most stylish chairs I could find at our local office supply stores and they're half as cool as these. Assembly took me about 4-5 minutes for the first chair and about 2 per chair after that. You don't need any tools -- they supply you with the alan wrench to attach the base to the seat. Everything else snaps in or slides in. The shipping was TERRIBLY slow and Wayfair's status tracker is virtually useless until the products arrive at your door -- but I'm not mad about it. These are wonderful chairs at almost any price and the free shipping was nice. I will buy more and more of these.
