I wasn't sure about this chair because it's a different style than I'm used to, but we ended up loving it in my husband's office area. It's so modern and expensive looking, and is definitely a conversation piece! It's very low and wide, so plan accordingly when deciding where to put it. The chair is surprisingly comfortable, but I probably would not spend too much time in it. Assembly was a bit difficult--it didn't come with any directions, so I messed up and had to redo some parts. Once we figured it out, things were fine, but it would have been nice to have a few pictures to refer to! It arrived well-packaged, although there are a couple of nicks and scratches on the wood. You wouldn't notice them if you weren't looking, though. Overall, we are happy with our new chair!
