The chair is very sturdy once assembled.  Nice level chair with no wobble, and color was true to what I saw pictured on the internet.  Assembly was more involved than I was expecting.  The assembly instructions are not difficult to follow, but there are more steps than I expected and each took considerably more time too.  The chair was shipped with excellent packaging which would not leave much room for damage unless something really major happened during shipping.  Overall good study chair that is holding up well.
