Super sturdy, easy to put together. Did have to bring my husband in for the last couple of screws but nothing too serious. The faux leather looks great, maybe a teensy but too shiny but will probably dull with use. I do wish the wood parts of the chair - which are very sturdy- were sealed. The unfinished wood doesn’t quite vibe with the mid-century modern aesthetic. The chair is a great size! It is very firm, but I literally bought it for looks. ;)
