Seat is upholstered with tufted navy-blue velvet fabric.

Too heavy to be aluminium I think (weighs ~30-40 lbs), it does not pass the "magnet test" though, so it's not iron either. My best bet is cast alloy.

Dimensions:
25.5" total height (from bottom to top of handles). Seat height is 18.75".
20" total width. Seat width is 15.5".
40" total length. Alloy structure length is 37.25".
The alloy structure is 5/8 to 7/8 throughout.

Structural condition is very good. There are aesthetical imperfections to notice, as displayed on pictures: paint chips on some edges, light pinkish discoloration on velvet (not necessarily visible in shade, but clearly noticeable in full light), and two buttons are missing on the tufted pattern (was that intentional? these two "absent" buttons are located at the very center of the seating area, and it does not seem to have impacted the folds, so maybe the structure prevented adding buttons there, I am not sure about it).
