We just love the blue chairs. I wouldn't call the color navy, more a royal blue. My husband and I aren't the adventurous type, but wanted accent chairs that 'said' something. We both smile everytime we look at them. Yes, they are a bit stiff, but we have a sofa. Easy to put the legs on, packaged nicely, no problems with construction, build well.  Only negative is the seat cushion doesn't flip, it's stationary.
