This chair is really cute and the color is as shown. Two of the legs were damaged. I put them on the back of the chair, because I didn't want to deal with customer service. You definitely need a lumbar pillow or some sort of pillow behind your back if you plan on sitting there for awhile. The chair is a little on the hard side, but I feel like once it has been worn in it will be a little softer. Easy to put together. You have to put the back onto the base and then the legs. It looks cute in my loft/reading area.  I plan to add a painting and floor lamp.
