I bought this for my husband for Christmas. It is so comfortable! It has a lot of padding, reclines almost flat, and was a breeze to put together. It is a darker indigo color with a grain of greys and browns. It looks very nice! Don't pay the extra money for the assembly. I opted for the "inside the house" delivery option. They gave me a courtesy call, arrived on time, brought it the house, and took the box and plastic wrap with them. All I had to do was connect the back of the chair with the base and it was ready to go. Husband falls asleep in it all the time now, so we have a winner!
