The color was exactly the way it looked online - so many times the colors don't match but Wayfair always seems to get it right. We had a rug that we were trying to match and it worked out great. The chair arrived quickly (two days before they said it would), was well packed and protected, no damage. Put the legs on it and turned it over and sat down. Well, it's a little stiff, but it is new, and we ordered this one because of the rated weight capacity, so we are thinking it might soften up a little over time. The seat height is great, allows getting back up out of the chair a lot easier than some of our others.
