Mid century modern. Looks authentic from afar. Good value and looks perfect in my art studio. Read the reviews of other people because they are accurate. What some people didn't like about the chair were things I wanted... E.g., no armrests and short back height. I don't sit while I paint, but it is a nice chair to sit in off and on. From a decor perspective it is nice to look at if you like mid century modern. It was really easy to put together. They even throw in extra pieces that are actually labelled as such. Yes, it expels air when you sit down, but a quiet swoosh...not a flatulent sound as some suggested. The wood is veneer and some was chipped but this was on the bottom. The wheels roll very well on the tile floor. It is a very good value and met my expectations perfectly.
