This is a beautiful chair. It came packaged with great care, wrapped and guarded against any bumps in shipping. The seat is much wider than my other accent chairs for the price. I'm not a small woman and it is very comfortable to sit in and will be my main chair for my sitting room where I watch TV when my husband is home at night in the living room watching his shows. The colors are burgundy, although not a deep burgundy and gold. The wood is a caramel color brown. My husband had no trouble putting it together. I had to wait a few weeks because it was out of stock, (I can see why since it's so pretty!). It was worth the wait.
