while it is a beautiful looking chair, and fairly easy to assemble...i was disappointed with the craftsmanship of the chair itself.  came very well packaged, so damage was not due to shipping.  which is even worse, because they packaged it damaged!  haha,  oh well, it is very nice looking, and i do like it.  i just have to find the right color furniture pen to cover the scuff marks.  just not pleased to spend hard earned money on damaged stuff.
