I purchased this chair for my nursery.  Baby has not arrived yet, so I cannot speak to how the chair will hold up to use and stains, but the assembly of the chair was quick and simple.  All items were delivered as promised (which I've learned is never a guarantee when purchasing items for babies/nurseries).  The construction seems very solid and the cushions are comfortable, yet firm, and don't swallow me up (I'm about 5'4" and 120 pounds).  My feet touch the ground in this chair, but there is the ottoman with stool that I'm sure will be useful when nursing.  The color is a DARK gray, but pretty much what I pictured from seeing it online.
