I appreciated how easy these were to put together. I ordered 4 and assembled them on my own within an hour. The color is dependent on the lighting. They look on the darker end of beige in dim lighting and significantly brighter with sunlight/bright light. To me, they're comfortable and we especially love that they swivel. They chair fabric is a bit loose/wrinkled on all of them, unfortunately, but I'm just telling myself this would've have naturally occurred down the road due to wear and tear anyway. That's the only reason I wouldn't rate these a full 5 star.
