I am actually kind of surprised at how much I love this chair!! It was a “ I hope it works out “ purchase and it did!! The color is a nice ivory and the material is a smooth finished polyestersuede feel. It has almost a velvety finish. The tilt mechanism has me flummoxed but it works just like those old sun chairs, tilt it all the way forward then click it back and voila! Very comfortable!! All in all a win.
