I purchased the chair in black to go with a black secretary I bought. The chair arrived well packed. This company definitely knows how to ship a piece of furniture correctly! No assembly required which was nice. I do think the chair is a bit overpriced. The chair is not the most comfortable. It has a nice large seat and it does support your back, however the leather seat is not comfortable unless you are wearing pants. I like the chair enough to keep it and got a cute throw blanket to toss over the seat during short wearing season.
