I received 2 of these chairs last week. The Delivery employees were prompt and courteous. The chairs were easy to unpack and assemble. They only require attaching the legs. My teenage son assembled it for me. The only tricky part was getting the four legs completely level. The material is a nice espresso-colored leather. ￼ The chair is quite firm. This is exactly what I wanted for ease of getting up for my aging parents when they visit. However if you want a plush leather chair to sink into, this will not satisfy you. I found the chair is more comfortable with a lumbar pillow.￼￼￼￼￼ The chair is a little bit slippery (you slide forward a bit). That is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. It is an attractive reasonably comfortable chair for a good price.
