The chair is as pictured - a light beige/tan color.  Fabric is soft and a good quality.  Chair was fairly easy to assemble, hubby did it in about an hour or less.  It seems sturdy and height mechanism works well, though it would be better placed more forward toward the knees and out toward the edge so it is more easily accessed.  I wish the back were 6-8 inches higher, as there is no place to rest the head even for my short 5'4" stature - perhaps I misread the dimensions(?).  I've had it for about a month, and I'm pleased.  The package arrived in good condition, and the item was protected well in the box.  It was difficult to find a chair with a narrow seat width of 20 inches or less, and that would support significant weight, as people of various sizes will use it.
