The fabric was sturdier than I expected. I was glad that I got the one that had a separate bottom cushion because it allowed me to tuck in the sides to fit better.  It does not fit as perfect as the picture, but it's good enough until I can afford to recover or replace the chair I have. The instructions on how to get it on were terrible and had to try several times to get the arms in the correct place.  The color was as pictured.
