First off, like others have said, the color is darker than the one in the 1st stock photo, the chair is what is pictured in the other photos when it's the chair by itself.  Dark brown with gunmetal/black metal accents.  Putting it together was only a struggle when I got to the metal part.  I had to loosen one of the pre-assembled screws for mine to go in the hole.  Once I figured that out, it was smooth sailing.  The chair is comfy and looks really nice.
