We were pleasantly surprised to find that the four chairs we ordered were a rich tan rather than the beige shown online.  It looks somewhat like soft leather (think expensive Western boots!) but feels like fabric.  The wood and metal trim matches our table and other furnishings perfectly.  Most important, the chairs are adjustable for personal comfort and have good back support.  The only "labor-intensive" part of assembly was undoing all the meticulously wrapped packing material and getting the chairs out of their double boxes.  They arrived in perfect condition.  Attaching each base to the seat required only four screws and a little patience.  We are thrilled with the results!
