This chair looks fabulous in the room with my baby grand piano! I've been looking for chairs that don't look like chairs in everybody else's house and finally I found one. And what a great price! The material is very nice and neutral enough to blend with pretty much any surrounding -- it's not yellow and it's not beige, but somewhere in between. The weight is fairly substantial -- it's not super heavy, but it's certainly not flimsy either. Really the only criticism I have is one of the legs is uneven. I have hardwood floors, so I had to use an extra floor-saver felt piece. If I had carpet, I might not have even noticed. The seat is not very deep, but it's very wide. You can curl your feet up and be quite comfy. The seat cushion is not attached and it's not a very tight fit, so if you were to slide out of the chair (kids), the cushion would come with you. It took my husband less than 10 minutes to assemble -- very easy. I'm not sure if this chair could withstand a ton of wear and tear, but it suits my purpose just fine and I would definitely recommend it.
