The seat frame is made up of four pieces of wood with grooves on the front piece. The seat is upholstered and heavily padded and is attached to the frame with tacks. The fabric has a floral design. There is a metal sheet underneath the seat which has been attached with nails. The bottom rail is grooved and attached to the stiles with mortise and tenon joints. There is a padded back rest which has been attached to the bottom rail, next to the stiles and a crest rail with tacks. The back rest has the same fabric as the seat.
