I was slightly worried that this chair would be incredibly flimsy.. I was pleased to find out that it was very sturdy. The color is spot on to the pictures online. I’m going to use these in our formal dining with a small table to read books. From what I can tell it’s definitely comfortable than expected. I would say take out and fluff the pillows prior to starting the project. By the time you are done, they will be full of volume. Instructions were pretty simple. I always struggle with putting things together and honestly these were a breeze to read from.
