I ordered the BROWN set but received the black. It's definitely black and not dark brown. Given that the set arrived in a HUGE box, carefully wrapped, it would be way, way too much trouble to rewrap it and somehow get the huge box to the shipping company. So I'm keeping a black chair that does not go with my warm colored room--even though I'm unhappy with it. The company's shippers need to be much more careful to make sure the products they ship are exactly the products ordered by customers. The chair and ottoman, otherwise, are what I wanted.
