The wood is quite beautiful and the finish of the wood is nice.  The seat portion is functional, but not too much plush.  

Others complained about assembly.  The seat brackets on mine did not come pre-drilled, but the screws were able to withstand my brute force screwing.  Also two of the cross beams are tricky to get in.  If you realize that the lower-portion of the chair is wider than the upper portion, it will give you the proper orientation of these and tapping them in will get it done.
