I really wanted to like these chairs but...the colour is supposed to be navy & I was expecting darker. The navy on these is a bit lighter. The material is advertised as linen but I don't think it's real linen. It's a polyester blend or something. Finally they are woefully uncomfortable. The back is too straight and the cushion is super hard. Maybe it will soften up with time but right now they are not the kind of chair you want to sit in & relax with a good read. I was going to return them but they may do for my office where they look pretty but don't get sat on.
