I purchased the black leather, it's gorgeous, just like the picture. Easy to assemble and well made, comfortable. Unfortunately we have a cat and even though we have other leather furniture in our house that the cat has never acknowledge, a day after having our recliner she decided to lay her claws into it. But luckily it's not that noticeable and hopefully she doesn't do it again. Crossing fingers! But the chair held up to her claws, only can see the scratches up close, thought other cat owners might like to know that.
