I caught this chair on sale and bought 4 of them.  The first one arrived today in one box and it took me 25 minutes to put it together by myself.  It looks just like pictured and is a converstion chair, it not comfortable but not uncomfortable, meaning you can sit have a conversation but you can not relax in it. it is 27.5 inches wide as described.  I am 130 pounds 5'5 and it's perfect for me.  I am not certain it will be comfortable for anyone over 6 ft and over 250 pounds.  The description does state maximum weight 250 pounds.  It looks nice, completes my look, and overall I am pleased. I purchased one out of box and the other three regular price.  I will update pictures when my other three arrive.  The one that arrived was in great condition and hopefully the others will arrive the same way.
