This chair is lovely; frankly it is much nicer than I expected!  Came w/o assembly instructions, but I found them online so NO PROBLEM!  The wood is actually quite lovely, in contrast to one of the reviews.  I like it very much. The leather is also nice!  Pieces are heavy and it looks to be well made.  If it goes together and is as nice ASSEMBLED as it is in pieces, this is quite a bargain!
