Purchased in blue and color is true to photo. Base is sturdy but the chair back is not. The way the back slid into the base was all wrong causing the back to stick out. Since we had this chair shipped to our house outside the U.S., returning it was not an option, so we had to make it work. My husband realigned the brackets by removing the bottom 3 screws and moving the bracket vertical. DO NOT REMOVE THE TOP SCREW. The back slid in and fits properly now. He then opened the underlying black fabric and screwed the back section into the base to provide additional support then stapling the black fabric back in place. Hope this helps others.
