Studry and comfy! Once I figured out the directions, it was pretty easy to put together, too. Shipping took  about a week longer than expected but arrived in great condition. Its nice having the back and side arms on these counter height chairs. It was hard to find. The design is streamlined, modern, and classic at the same time. The light grey fabric is not too light, just right. The dark grey legs of the chair arent too dark either. Very happy.
