This chair came well packed, with no damage.  We found the legs tucked inside the bottom of the chair, thanks to another reviewer.  All the nail heads were fairly straight and even, which I am picky about. I ordered the black color, and it is black, with no brownish tints.  The style is great, but be aware this chair is not large.  Any smaller, and it would be too small for anyone's house.  It is made well, and the quilted pattern on it shows up well.  I wish this was really leather, because it feels rather hard and slick.  The seat cushion is very firm, not what you would want to sit in for a long time.  Hopefully it will soften up with time.
