Loved the distressed black color of the chair. This is not a heavy chair. It has small legs and wood work, but the seating area is very comfortable to sit in. Great chair for a desk.

Unlike it's cousin the Carolina Desk this chair is well built and looks good. Unfortunately I had to return the chair as the desk was awful and therefor had no use for the chair, otherwise recommended.

These chairs are of very good quality and construction. They compare to similar chairs purchased at three times the price for previously purchased items.

I ordered one of these for a kitchen desk. They are a relatively heavy build for a windsor bowback chair. Not like some of the very expensive ones with relatively thin elegant lines, more heavy and sturdy and looks built to be used. So what I liked is it looks like it will hold up from a structural perspective under normal kitchen use and has in our kitchen.

I would have rated it 5 stars for the price and quality, except the problem I experienced is the finish is flaking off the seat after a few months out of the box. Could be unique to my chair. It looks like there were multiple coats of finish and the last coat did not adhere properly to the prior. So at least what is underneath the flakes matches in color. I thought of sending it back but unfortunately it was just not a priority since it does not show much unless you look for it. Of course I have to sweep up the occassional black paint chips off the floor.

This chair would be excellent, if only I could buy four for a table. Apparently I can only buy two, attempt to buy more and I get the message: "We are sorry. This item has limited purchase quantity. Because you have purchased the maximum allowable quantity in the past you cannot buy any more units of this item." Poor customer service on part of Amazon. Great chair if you actually have the incredibly rare situation where you only need one or two of these, but for most of the human race, tables usually need four chairs.

I purchased this chair as a basic desk chair, and was pleasantly surprised by the quality. There were a few issues with rough finishes underneath, but the chair itself is solid, comfortable, and well-designed.
