We received the chair in blue.  It is a pretty navy blue with enough royal blue to make it pretty without making it look almost black in color. The grain and feel very nice and impressive. The chair was super easy to put together and very quiet while in motion.  It truly rises up enough to put you on your feet and reclines back enough to sleep but not lay flat. I did read where it was rather small and I thought no big deal my father in law is only 5'7" and 160lbs should be fine.  The only reason I removed a star was that his feet hung over the footrest.  It looked awkward to me but he was very happy with the chair and did not complain.  He broke 3 ribs with a fall and is having a very difficult time sleeping or rising from a sitting position. He loves the chair.  I bought the 3 year extended warranty due to other reviews.
