This chair is fabulous! It came sheathed in a fabric bag inside the cardboard package so the light oatmeal-colored fabric was pristine. Two of the wooden legs had minor imperfections in the staining but they were not at all noticeable once the legs had been screwed in and the chair was in its normal upright position. The chair itself is very sturdy with a firm seat & back but not at all uncomfortable. It also has a very wide seat so it would be good for someone with larger proportions. With the button detail and the quality of the fabric, the chair looks very expensive. I love it!
