These chairs are far prettier than pictures show. Background is a knubby light gold linen look. Flowers are different shades of medium blues with touches of medium gold and green. Very very pretty. Easy to assemble once I figured out access was under velcroed fabric on bottom of the seat. Put the washers on the screws and line up with their nuts in order - A, B, C - and you'll be done assembling in no time. Be aware you'll only have about 6" of the backs showing above your countertop; if you want more reveal, you should probably get the other set. Also, I have a fairly busy pattern of granite and this fabric looks busy next to it, but these chairs are so beautiful, I'm throwing my "design sense" to the wind, but something you might want to think about..
