We bought 2 chairs and spray painted the bases black. Theyre easy to put together. They are very comfortable when you are sitting upright or have your feet on an ottoman, but if youre looking for a lounge chair or recliner feel this is not that kind of chair. Nevertheless for an accent chair they are very comfy. The color in the listing is true.   The fake leather upholstery is just a little bit plasticy but not too bad for this price. Overall we are happy with them.
