The seat is comfortable and very firm. The fabric is darker than it appears in the picture. It’s more of a mushroom color then cream. Wish that there were some pre drilled holes for all the screws. The part where the back attaches to the seat, I had to use a really small drill bit to get it to go in completely. I needed my drill, not a screwdriver. Otherwise, it was simple to assemble and the wood is good quality.
