I bought this in the red color to use as a desk chair - it looks like it does in the photos, and is comfortable enough for a few hours of sitting to do work. It could definitely be *more* comfy, but it's a bit better than I expected so I'm happy with that. The legs were surprisingly harder to put on than expected because the instructions don't tell you there are 2 sizes of screws and it matters which one goes where. Probably took me about 15 mins to assemble. It includes felt stickers for the bottom of the legs, which is nice so it doesn't scratch my floor, but I suspect they won't last long and I'll have to replace them.
