The gold is shinier and brighter than it appears in the picture.  The  chairs leg came bent. We notified the company they told us they will replace it and they sent and email that it will come August 2022. It was never sent due to being on back order still. The next date given is  January 2023. I believe they are just sending it out to new buyers because they already have my money. It does not take that long to make a chair. This looks bad in my new house. It is a safety issue because people are afraid of sitting on it. Me and my husband sits on it to avoid problems and it have not bent any more. I really think it is a sturdy chair and made with good quality materials. I don’t understand how the manufacturer package a bent leg though. Or it was damage in transit.
