This chair is amazingly strong. I was concerned that it would be lightweight, boy was I wrong! It’s a strong sturdy desk chair, that was easy to put together. My grandson helped me and we were done in less than 20 minutes. It’s really a nice looking faux leather chair that looks very elegant. It’s comfortable too. We ordered the black and it looks so executive like in my home office. This chair will last for years and is easy to wipe clean.
