The chair was easy to put together, the color (blue) was more grey blue than a turquoise blue as pictured on site,  but since the room has grey tones, it works. The chair is for a spare bedroom, so it wont have daily use. I might worry about fabric durability if it was in a family room being sat on often. Seems very sturdy and reclining mechanism works well. Time will tell overall very satisfied with the purchase.
