What is there not to love about this chair?  It is made in the USA.  It is so strong and sturdy that my 6'8" sons can sit in it and feel comfortable and not worry that it will fold on them.  The finish is beautiful.  I do have to agree with other reviewers about the factory distressed gouge in the seat - NOT necessary at all.  But I am using non-slip chair pads so it is not noticeable and probably would not be a problem compared to the beauty and strength of the chair. I want more of these. Maybe not the cheapest chair on the planet but well worth every dollar to me.

Pros: Very sturdy.  Came fully assembled (LOVE THAT).  The finish seems very strong, too. Beautiful furniture.
Cons: That darn gouge.
