This chair came exactly as described. It looks great in the small home office and is comfortable enough to sit in for a full day. The assembly was a little difficult. Some of the pre-drilled screw holes were not aligned properly so two of the eight screws to hold the legs in place could not be installed. The sturdiness of the chair does not seem to be affected by this though. I would recommend having a second set of hands when putting it together, it makes this process much easier.
