Handsome wood with sturdy fabric. Wide seat, low to the ground and easy to rock. Everyone who has sat in it likes it. Fabric (not velvet) is nice. I need to scotch guard it though (pink). Quite a few assembly parts and it definitely takes two people to hold and line up the holes during assembly. Once you figure out what you're doing it goes pretty quickly. Wish there were wood caps to cover up screw holes though!! Great buy!!
