I purchased this chair in the dark brown.... For my one year old great nephew's 1st birthday and within minutes sat down with a book and was loving it. Albeit, he is not strong enough to make it recline, he will enjoy it for quite a number of years, I am certain. I do want to say, the there is a hole, about the size of a screw, on the back upper left .....that I was upset to see...but the hassle of exchange was not worth seeing my nephew  without HIS CHAIR!

Easy to assemble and quite attractive chair
Hard for a 1 year old to grasp the reclining effect!
