We ordered twelve of these and the color is a little lighter than I had hoped for, but I do like the linen look and variation of color of the blues. They look very nice, and a little more casual which is okay, too.  They are a pain to put together and you can't use a drill, its all by hand. They should include an allen wrench that will fit a drill.  My husband is not thrilled to have to take all this time to put them together.  But the chairs are great.
