I didn't want a bland-colored, rickety chair that I could get from any local retailer. I wanted something with a bright pop of color. I got the cobalt blue. This chair is also reinforced. It's triple-braced and double-hinged. It feels very sturdy. The price was great. The shipping was virtually the same price as the chair, but I can't really complain about that because it arrived very quickly, and right to my door.
