Love this violet color chair!  Only had to put legs on.  It is very sturdy and not a chair you will "sink into" when you sit but very comfortable "firm"  seat and back.  Makes a perfect bedroom chair, although I personally would not put it in my great room/living room because the back height is a bit too short for that room.  The violet color goes perfectly with my creamy off-white furnishings, gray walls, and lilac-colored bedding.  I would not hesitate to purchase in another color.  This chair makes me happy every time I look at it!
