The chair is a beautiful royal blue, the fabric is a lovely soft velvet that does stretch a little when you sit on it.  This chair is really soft and comfortable, it wraps around you and allows you to lean back a little.  That said, it's not a dining chair.  Please see the attached pictures.  The box says accent chair and the dimensions are 2 inches lower for the seat than stated making it too low for my standard dining table. It's a shame but I'm sending them back which costs me about $33 for two.
