I thought the colors were dead on, vibrant and not to southwest looking that you blend with other decor. I wanted chairs for a pop of color. They are comfortable and seem to be fairly sturdy (a 6'4" 275 lbs man sat in one and was comfortable). Assembly went well except one leg was a little off. I just didn't tighten bolt all the way or leg would have been crooked. Also that chair wasn't level but I just put a felt pad under it and it was fine.
