This is a good hearty chair.  The seat is well made and not cheap.  A 200lb person can sit in the chair and it wouldn't feel at all flimsy.  The legs of the chair is definitely espresso and not dark wood like in the picture.  You won't be disappointed.  It takes about 20 minutes per chair to put together but it's not difficult at all, just lots of screws to secure the legs to the seat.
