The quality of this item was unexpectedly good.  Solid wood legs, top, frame and chair parts.  The directions for assembly are not quite accurate but that's generally a problem with imported items.  The assembly was relatively simple and took about 2 hours altogether.  The chair padding in somewhat inadequate - one can feel the chair frame underneath the upholstery on both sides of the chair.  I expect this will cause the upholstery to wear out fairly soon.  Time will tell.
