The colour is wonderful - rich & saturdated. Easy to put together. Not a particularly comfortable chair, but I suspect that will improve when it's been sat on a bit. But . . . the delivery people simply got the box onto the porch without ringing or knocking. The box was damaged, & had been taped over the part that had been opened - I can't tell it was deliberate or careless, rough handling. As the box was put, it blocked my door & my neighbours. I was home the entire day & would not have missed hearing something.
