I have had this chair for over a year in my bedroom.  I didn't think the material would hold up well, but so far it has.  The legs are designed to curve backwards, so don't think you have screwed them on wrong.  I love the nail heads, they give it a really nice touch.  The color is a tad bit brighter than pictured but not that much of a difference as it is in the same shade of blue.  The measurements on height and width are accurate.
