I think most of the reviews are pretty accurate. Color leans to blue which is fine with us. I really liked the fact you could see how the chair was constructed underneath in one of the photos. It runs "on a rail" that is built in and swivels flawlessly on carpet. Very sturdy. Very comfortable. We got a small table to put things on, one extra pillow, and a pouf to put our feet up on. For my wife it has transformed one corner of the living room into the "princess area" as my wife calls it. She is very happy with it ... so I am too ;) .
