The chair itself is true to colour (I purchased the mauve) and quite comfortable. My only complaints are that the assembly of the chair, and the shipping. There are 5 screws which fasten the legs to the chair, and one of the holes didn't line up perfectly which made for tricky assembly. The box in which the chair was shipped was completely mangled by the time it arrived at my house, and the chair came with some noticeable scratched on the fabric on the back of the chair. It isn't the end of the world considering the chair is against a wall, but it could've been easily avoided if the chair was packaged in some sort of bubble wrap.
