The material for this chair is nicely made. It's thick and tightly woven. The legs were easy to attach and are sturdy. When you sit in this chair, it feels firm and gives you great support. It was packaged up well in cardboard and plastic wrap so I felt it was well protected in the FedEx truck. I wish our FedEx guys tang our doorbell. I was waiting specifically for it. They basically thumped the packages down on our doorstep and took off. Being petite, I could have used help bringing them in.
