These chairs are beautiful. They are a rich deep blue and the velvet is so soft. The cushion is quite firm. The only negative is the legs are bit awkward. We were able to use the leveler screws under each leg to make the chair stable but from afar the legs don’t appear to be straight. I had my husband readjust them several times hoping it would get better but o think it’s just the way they are. Overall lovely chairs at a great price.
