I have had such wonderful results with ordering from Wayfair. I LOVE this Arm Chair. Upon receipt, the box was damaged on one corner, but chair was packaged so well that it was unscathed. It is designed for a smaller person. I am 5'4" and I sit very comfortably in it. My 5'9" daughter finds it to be a bit small for her taller frame. It was very easy to assemble. I was not too concerned with color; wondering if it would lean on the taupe or grey side. It is a very rich dark grey with beautiful ivory crewel work. Very nice piece to complement my French country living room.
