The colour is nice.  The Burgundy suits our new front room/study it even matches the bits in the rug it sits on. As for the chair its big enough for a big man,ok a fat man like me. I was able to put it together nearly on my own. MY daughter helped with putting the back on. I can now swivel around and look out the window when I'm not busy at the computer. It makes the room look posh said my daughter, though it's too big for her. And it moves up and down perfect for my back, so what more can I say, just buy one for yourself, or for the one you love, but pick the perfect colour, and say WAYFAIR.
