I got it meant as a double chair for sitting not for lounging and it serves its purpose well. I dont think it would be comfortable lounging on it but its a comfortable chair. I got the linen and its a creamoff white colour with some blackish streaks that are faint in colour. Very easy to assemble, just had to put in the backrest. I took off a star because the rattan mesh is not as smooth as I expected or saw from other rattan lattice...there were some small  pieces of wood that were sticking out but it wasnt a big deal...I just cut then off and its fine.
