Absolutely beautiful color of dark purple.  The fabric is also very soft.  I was looking for a chair that sits high enough and is sturdy( One that you won't sink into when you sit down) for our bedroom so that my husband could have an easy time putting his socks on in the morning.  He has had a knee replacement and suffers from arthritis and this chair makes this task so much easier for him!  So glad I bought this chair.  Very Happy with my purchase!!
