I purchased this chair in the dark grey, and it is true to the photo.  I had some difficulty with the leg assembly only because two of the holes did not line up.  Otherwise, it couldn't be simpler to put the chair together, and it probably would have taken ten minutes from opening the box to setting it in place.  This chair has been on my wish list for a looong time, and I am so glad I finally got it!  The fabric is beautiful and it actually is quite comfy (and I am tall with long legs).  I got it to fill a corner spot by an accent table, so it is more a visual accent piece for me, but I think it would work well as a functional accent chair, too.
