I bought 8 of these chairs in the slate blue. It took us about 2 hours to assemble all of the legs and it wasn't so bad. The chairs themselves are extremely comfortable. The seat has a nice firm, yet soft plush feel. The fabric is best compared to the suede on "Uggs" and the chairs have a slight print. Some say it is animal print, but I definitely don't see that. The print is there to give that "brushed suede" look. They were definitely a GREAT buy. The color is beautiful and quite understated (which is good because I have other bright colored furniture).
