The chair is just as pictured. The first time the wrong color chair was sent and Wayfair sent out the correct color chair quickly. I even got to keep the first one. It would seem that being given a free chair would be great but we have a really small home and that big box had to sit in my foyer for about a week so I would have rather it be picked up and returned. Fortunately I had a friend with a truck who loved the idea of a new piece of furniture and took it off my hands. The chair is very nice, not soft like leather but I did not expect it to be at its price...which is great. It is a little stiff as mentioned in other reviews so hopefully it will get softer with use. As mentioned it is also not for anyone tall. I am 5'6 and my husband is 5'10 so it works well. Anything over 5'10 would not have a head rest when pushed all the way back. It actually lighter than I expected so easy to move. Was easy to put together too. Over all a good buy.
