The chair met all expectations based on the specifications and reviews.  The chair arrived a day early.  It was nicely packaged with a dust cover and it was easy to assemble the legs. The chair is stiff and would not be comfortable for sitting long term to read a book or watch a movie. But I already expected this from other reviews.  I did not select the chair for comfort.  It was chosen to provide seating for a short period of time and to complete the look of my living room.
