Yet ANOTHER Wayfair purchase! We’ve been slowly transitioning our furniture to prepare for our new french country style home (tbdlakehouse on Instagram) and knew we had to have these recliners (oh we bought 2) ! The fabric is linen and the color is a light tan. The pictures were taken in natural day light to help you see the color best. Assembly was a breeze. I did it all by myself in 30 mins for BOTH! The seat is a bit firm but I’m perfectly fine with that as they will break in over time.
