We bought this chair to replace a more sculpted Humanscale desk chair. The advantage of this chair is that it has a completely flat bottom cushion which may be more comfortable for some people when sitting for longer periods of time.
The chair has a walnut-colored veneer which has a high quality appearance even though the base is ply. I recommend taking care not to bang the chair into hard surfaces or it will likely dent/chip the veneer.
The fabric seat, back, and sides are light gray fabric with a good texture. The legs are metal with a -like finish and screw into the bottom of the seat with three screws each. The legs have plastic tips to prevent scratching the floor but I added a half-inch diameter furniture pad to each leg so that it slides easily on our hard floors.
Overall, the chair looks much more expensive than it is and fits the mid-century style perfectly.
ASSEMBLY NOTE: Some reviewers have complained that their chair rocked back and forth on the floor after assembly. It is important to note that there are two different size legs for the front and back --they are clearly marked on the base to show you where each is to be positioned. The legs look identical but they are not (they have different lengths/angles). My chair sits perfectly flat on the floor without any wobble and so I suspect that wobbly chairs were not assembled with the legs in the right position.
Great mid-century style, flat cushion a plus
