Color was not as bright a gold as picture would make it seem.  It's more of an antique gold color.  That being said, it still looked nice in the space.  Make sure you measure the sides of your dining table because the base of the chair is quite wide, and ours didn't fit on the ends of the table. 

Chairs were super easy to put together.  The pad on the chair is a little bit thin and might need replacing further down the line, but for now works well.  Wayfair also forgot to include the hardware with one of the chairs!
