The chair is a soft microfiber, true to color shown, and it is very comfortable and very pretty. Delivered during the window of days I was told it would be delivered (took 2 weeks, 2 days to receive from date purchased) and notified 30 minutes prior to delivery. Very small tear on back of chair arm the size of a pencil eraser. Leg holes need drilled to attach legs (which are plastic). Cannot speak to longevity of the item, since I just bought/received it.
