The chair looks nice just like the picture but it is hard as a rock. I will be replacing the throw pillow for something softer. The fabric is a nice velvet and the color is a very dark navy which can almost look black in certain lighting. The easy to screw on legs are not made out of real wood as they appear to be in the picture, but rather some sort of man made composite. This is only noticeable close up but I don't like it when things pretend to be something they are not, as is the case with these legs. The extreme firmness of the chair is alright for my needs because I have five grandchildren who will be sitting, standing, jumping and wiggling around in this chair. Maybe they can soften it up a bit.
