I am always wary of purchasing furniture online for fear the description is inaccurate. However, this chair matches the description perfectly! This piece certainly exceeds expectations. It is sturdy, modern and adds character to our living room. The seat is firm, yet comfortable. I expect it to wear well over time. The assembly consisted of 6 minutes screwing the legs onto the base of the seat. Overall, we are extremely pleased with our purchase and may buy another chair for a spare bedroom. If you are considering this chair, BUY it!
