This is a really nice chair for the price and worked perfectly for me. The color is a rich brown and has a weathered appearance to it. The reclining mechanism works well and goes back smoothly. The chair is very comfortable. The only thing I do not care about is the back of the chair has fabric Velcro'd to it. I have cats that like to push back the velcro and crawl in. If the chair is in a recline position, they could get caught in the chair. The chair came in a large box and needed to be assembled. It was well packed and instructions were clear. It took me less than 10 minutes to do. I would recommend this chair for small to medium spaces.
