Very sturdy and stylish.  Good quality. Firm and supportive seat and back.  Purchased espresso finish and would describe upholstery as a linen/oatmeal color.  Upholstery is highly textured, like a soft burlap.  Mfg calls this a distressed finish, but I don't.  The 4 chairs I purchased had only one white "scuff" mark on one leg per chair, giving it less of a distressed look and more the look that the chair had been scratched.  I plan to cover it with a wood stain pen.  Assembly was the only real negative.  Hardest furniture assembly we've ever done because attaching seats to chair back requires 7 bolts and predrilled holes that did not easily align.  Tedious work that took longer than it should have.
