The chair is solidly constructed with quality materials. I love the color, gray.  My only concern is that the chair does not sit completely upright as I would like, but that's the result of buying a chair on line without actually sitting in it.  Husband put the chair and ottoman together with ease, under an hour total. I would highly recommend this chair to potential buyers; just be aware that it doesn't position completely upright. This is a beautiful addition to my room of comfort and relaxation.
