Extremely easy setup and comfortable to sit on. The color is a slightly darker shade closer to mauve but it will do. On one chair, the gold on the top of the legs (hidden by the seat) did get scraped possibly during transport or by the way it was stored in the box but since it's covered I don't mind too much.

Update: Gold unfortunately scuffs easily. The cushion also flattens to no support with daily use, so I've put a seat cushion to compensate.
