Darker than pictured. More of a tan/light brown color. Both chairs are also not exactly cut correctly. Some of the stretchers at the bottom are not flush with the legs. Also, both chairs do not lie flat on the ground. We will have to add something to one of the legs so the chairs do not rock back and forth. One of the chairs had a bunch of bent staples coming out of the bottom upholstery as well. Spent a little more than planned because I was hoping for a decent product. Overall not thrilled with the purchase.
