Despite the "desert" color description, this chair is a perfect light gray color. The fabric is super soft and it's a fairly "heavy" chair, which makes me think it's well-constructed. The only reason I gave it a 4 star rating (instead of 5 star) is that the chair is tall. I'm 5'7" and when I'm sitting in it, my feet don't touch the ground. I have to use my tip toes to rock. It fits me well when I'm reclining. The opposite is true for my 6'3" husband - it's nice and tall for him to sit and rock it, but the length when reclined is a little short. Overall, a great bargain! We can't wait to rock our baby girl in it :) 

Pros: Lovely color; Easy to assemble; Very soft fabric
