Shipping time was excellent. The chair is exactly what we needed for the space.. The colour is the same as shown on the site. On the downside...the box it arrived in did not travel well. Too much airspace was left in the box so one side was crushed in and the packing tape was very poorly applied and was not even making contact with the box on the top. We took photos just in case but luckily the chair was undamaged. This information should be passed on to the Company that packed it.
