Not as expected. It is pretty and I like the pattern, but the chair comes in two pieces, the back and the seat w attached arms. The back slides down into the seat through two metal brackets. The metal brackets are too wide and the back does not fit very tight in it. If you lean on the back too far, it pops as if it is going to come apart. So I told my Mother who is 87 to sit on it, but not to lean back. It is disappointing as I bought this for her bedroom as an accent chair.
