I ordered two of these chaise lounges and they came in just as pictured. The wood finish is the same and there was no difficult assembly. I think they look great. I haven't had them long but I gave 4 stars because 1. I am not sure how the raw wood will hold up in the sun. It does have a coating finish on it, but I would assume I would need to reapply a top coat to keep it from splinteringcracking. 2. Pretty obvious I would think, but these aren't the MOST comfortable lounger out there. You could purchase a pillow or cushion, but with it being wood slats it's not like you're going to lounge for hours comfortably. I purchased these mostly for the look and I am happy with the result.
