I think it is a nice looking chair, but I am unsure how long it will last. Time will tell. It was a good price and I got free shipping. I had never ordered a piece of furniture like this through the mail before.  So far it was a pretty good experience. It is fairly sturdy and we don't use it as much as our other chairs so if I get a couple of years out of this chair I will be pleased, so far so good.  It does look exactly like the picture in dark brown
