The chair has a much shorter back than I expected. It also is sturdy enough for someone to sit on it here and there, but for everyday use I wouldn't recommend. I have 3 young kids and if I used it as an everyday chair it would be broken by now. It is also not comfortable at all. So if you want a chair that looks pretty and won't really be used, then the price is totally worth it and I would recommend it. If you want something a little more sturdy for lots of use, I would suggest buying something else.
Shipping time was great though and it was very easy to put together.
