Overall, I'm happy with this purchase. The mesh fabric is comfortable and supportive. The design is sleek and modern. It took about 20-30 mins to assemble. However, I was surprised by how light the color is - it's not taupe it's a very light cream. I instantly regretted ordering white vs. black due to durability. If your chair will be exposed to the elements rain, leaves, dust... I'd opt for black. We had to buy a chair cover right away.
