The chair is a beautiful color of purple. I have read the other reviews but the chair I received must be the exception. It took more than 2 hours to put it together , then as we were putting on the arm pads they would not work. We finally realized that the Velcro was put on upside down. We had to remove the Velcro, turn it over and staple it the right way. I  am a little disappointed with it, but I hope my chair is the worth the trouble.
