When you order low-priced merchandise, sight unseen, you can never be sure what you're getting. No one will mistake this for a true mid-century/Danish modern armchair, but it has similar clean lines, it's comfortable and the quality is surprisingly decent. The frame seems fairly sturdy, though I wouldn't jump up and down on this chair. The wood is finished nicely enough for the price. Often, I've noticed that on relatively inexpensive chairs, the seams can be wavy and puckered. Not the case here. The chair wasn't hard to put together -- pay attention to the directions and you'll be fine; I assembled this without help. The upholstery does seem a little thin but this chair won't get used all that much in my living room, so I expect it to be durable enough. The color, as others have noted, is less of a creamy beige and more of an oatmeal shade with some gray tones. For me, that's actually perfect because it's being paired with a light-gray couch. I've has this chair a few weeks now. Overall, quite happy so far.
