I ordered this chair in gray and it was true to color shown. Easy to assemble. It is a little stiff and I hope that it will be able to be "broken in" to make it a little more comfortable. My biggest complaint that keeps it from getting a 5 star rating is that when you recline, it won't stay reclined unless your foot is pressing against the foot rest at all times. So it's definitely not a "recline and fall asleep in" type of chair. It is also hard to close the foot rest. But overall, it looks nice and was on sale for less that $300, so it will work for what we need.
