We wanted a more modern chair for my husband's office and the dark blue was the perfect color to add additional interest. I am grateful for the reviewer that gave us a heads-up that the gold tone leg tips were only painted and not actual metal caps, so we were prepared for that and not disappointed. And the other reviewer comment was totally correct about the super poor packaging. The shipping box was very thin and arrived torn on all sides and the chair was only covered in a super thin piece of foam wrap that was basically shredded. It truly is a miracle that the chair wasn't damaged. But then again, it isn't real leather and it appears pretty indestructible which is a plus for us as our dog and cat like to jump on it and their claws don't mark it up at all. Overall, it is a pretty cool chair for the very low price.
