The actual fabric is quite a bit lighter than in the picture, but it worked out ok in my room. Putting the chair together was easy enough, but the pieces don't lock into place. I feel like if I were to move the chair by the backrest, it would easily come apart. The chair is quite comfortable. The seat is a bit stiff, but the backrest is cushiony. I was worried that the chair would feel rickety when sitting in it, but it feels surprisingly solid. If you're on a low budget, you really can't go wrong with these chairs.
