Love this chair. It came with a few dirt smudges, hence the 4 instead of 5 stars. But they aren’t terrible and I can probably clean them up if I ever get around to it. 

Of note- the chair is a little wider than I was expecting but it works great for my space so if you’re in tight quarters just be sure to check the measurements before you buy. 
And yes, the seat is very firm. The first time you sit down it may be unexpected but now I’m used to it and don’t find it too firm at all. (I prefer a firmer seat since softer seats sometimes hurt my back.) 
Really good looking. Easy to assemble. Comfortable. Adds charm and warmth to my work space.
