It's really pretty and seems sturdy enough. It came almost fully assembled-- just had to attach the bottom leg part. I got the Blue Azure and the color is close to the picture-- if anything it may be a touch bluer than the product image, but that's a good thing in my book. I'd say the biggest downside is the back is pretty stiff (think of a very stiff foam, like if a pole was padded) and sits very straight, so that's uncomfortable. I use a pillow behind me to counteract this. 

However, for the most part, I sit forward while I work so it's not that big of a deal until I want to sit back.
