Delivery of the chair was timely.  When assembling do not tighten all the screws until all the pieces are together.  I love the grain and the color of the "wood" and fabric.  The overall appearance is dark grey.  It is great for my older guests as it is sturdy, roomy, comfortable and easy to get in and out of.  The chair is the French country look I wanted.  I love it and I am very happy with my purchase.
