I bought six chairs for my formal dining. I love how elegant and classy they look. The back of the chair is lower than a typical dining room chair but I knew that and don't mind. Fabric color is pretty true to the picture. However, in florescent light (in my garage-when I first opened them) the color may appear plum like. My only con is the finish on one chair legs turned out lighter than the others. I don't want to go through the hassle of returning so I just put it at the least seen place.  They were shipped and packaged very carefully so as to protect the chair and came in a very timely manner.  I would totally buy these again!
