I was reluctant at first but after reading all the reviews twice, I decided to give it a try and I am so glad I did. The color is a beautiful dark chocolate brown, the chaise is so soft and comfortable, and I had to problem with the assembly of the chaise lounge; nor with the electric outlet being loose. It is really nice and I am soooo glad that I followed my decision to purchase this lounge. I've looked at others before purchasing this one,  but I am just well pleased with this one. You won't go wrong if you decide to order this!
