Super comfy AND beautiful. I've had all shapes & sizes of friends try out this chair and, without exception, EVERYone has loved it. It's cushy but firmly supportive & you can sit in it for a long time without feeling fidgety. My white chair has been a real hit. I plan to use it, along with my Barcelona-style chair & Littrell chair & sofa, for an upcoming outdoor shed-warming party. (I've just finished an extensive shed project with new landscaping and carport & patio floor treatment to rent out as a party venue.) If you're looking for something beautiful to suit your style & comfortable enough to suit your guests, this chair would definitely be it! There's no assembly; just take it out of the box & set it in place.
