This chair is just as beautiful in person. It seems very sturdy so let’s hope the quality stands up to the test of time. It was very easy to assemble as all you have to do is attach the legs. The material is a soft velvet material. The seating is very hard but we are hoping that will break in over time. The chair is a good size and matched perfectly as an accent with out gray sectional Couch. The seating is deep and wide and can comfortably fit a heavier or tall person as well. It was priced well and a little less than the accent chairs we liked at wayfair, Athome and home goods. Wish there was a matching small ottoman though!
