Looks better in person! Let me say this, I was skeptical at first. The price was a steal so I questioned the quality. When I received the item I was blown! The cushioning is perfect and the velvet feels so good against your skin. The assembly wasnt hard at all. Once you put the first chair together everything falls into place after that. Last but not least the color is just as described and that was very important for my gray color scheme. Do yourself a favor and buy!!!!!￼
