I got this chair with the white faux leather and am very happy with it! Love the design and it is a pretty sturdy chair. Very comfortable if you're planning on sitting for about an hour or two. It doesn't recline.
Hardly any assembly required. The actual seat (top part) was completely assembled in a box. All you need to work on is snapping on the wheels and screwing the base to the seat. It comes with a wrench and screws so you don't even need tools.
