The avocado color is true to what you see on the website. Assembly was pretty simple and quick. The chair is short and small, and might not look right if you have larger, more substantial pieces nearby. I wanted something that didn't take up much space in my office and it was perfect for that. It's also not the most comfortable chair just because it's not the highest quality--it's fine for sitting for short periods, but I wouldn't use this as primary seating. Overall it's a good value and cute little chair--I'm happy with it.
