- I completely love them! I bought two. They are incredibly well made. They are also absolutely stunning. They are classic and beautiful. Also, very soft. The color is a true teal and because they are velvet, they appear extra stately. Love them!
- Nice chair. Very stylish! The color was exactly what I saw at the website. The assembly was very easy, but pay attention! The legs scratched my hand because they were not well finished. The seat is a little higher and the backrest is not so high as I imagined.
- Nice chair, easy to put together and relatively comfortable. Love the purple color. Overall happy with the purchase. The legs came incorrectly labeled but were the correct pieces so I was still able to put it together using the instructions on the product page (takes 10 min or so).

- LOVE this chair, we got two of them and they look great in our family room. The color is rich, and the chairs are great quality. I also like that they aren’t heavy so they’re easy to move around if trying to reconfigure seating when guests are over.
- It came well packaged and in perfect condition. The color is just right for what I needed. As other reviewers have said, the back is not soft. I’ll be adding a pillow and a throw perhaps. But it’s a nice little chair and is what I was looking for.
- The color is as expected! The chair is comfy enough, but may be too firm for some people. Definitely recommend getting a throw pillow to liven it up, otherwise it looks plain. I was looking for a simple chair in a fun color and this fits that perfectly.

- I chose the color orange, its rich look makes the room pop. Being so I live in a apartment I could only purchase 1, when I move I will purchase 1 more. Thank you for easy assembly and for being exactly what the product is exquisite.
- I’m really happy with my purchase, the color is as bright as you see in the pictures. The cushion it’s a little bit stiff (think it’s my only complain) but everything else it’s good, the assembly was easy and my girl seems to like it too.
- I love this chair! Color exactly what you see on the website. Very comfortable! Super easy to put the legs on. The description says it weighs 46 pounds but I don't think that is accurate. I love it so much when I got it, I ordered a second one!!

- So pleased with this purchase!! It’s color is exactly as depicted, and it’s sturdy and looks to be made of high-quality material. SUPER easy to assemble. We love the lumbar support interior spring, and the deep seat(we’re tall!) 1010, would def buy again if we ever needed to.
- I loved the color of this chair (I got the yellow). It went with the color palate I’m using for our new house. It’s vibrant but not as softcomfortable as I’d like. I’m still keeping it and we’ll see if I can break it in to be more cozy.
- Quick delivery, well packed, beautiful color, just what I expected, comfortable chair, I put them in the den where we did a readingmeditation room looks so good with my Wayfair book shelve, and wall shelve where my Angels collections sits....love the colors...my happy place! Thank you Wayfair!

- Beautiful chair...more amazing in person, Rich red velvet. Color pops in any room. Delivery - on time Packaging - no issues; super well packed Assembly - 10 minutes top (legs might look same but a difference between front and back) Wayfair’s customer service is amazing.
- I absolutely love this chair! I wanted a touch of color for my office, and it fits perfectly. I am not using it as an office chair as it would be too low. It’s exactly as pictured, and many people have asked me already where I got it.
- This sunny little velvet chair was just the pop of color I was looking for! It fits perfectly in our guest bedroom. I highly recommend. It arrived timely and perfect. I noticed some reviews mentioned problems with damaged/scratched legs. I had no issues. Love it!

- Was a bit stiff upon arrival, but loosened up after some use and is very comfy now. Happy with the style, comfort, and quality. Was a bit difficult to put together tho, screws and holes didn't quite line up, but made it work with a drill.
- The chair looks really nice in our space. Good quality for the price. The teal color is really pretty and the fabric has a nice texture to it. Definitely follow other reviewers advice and dont fully tighten the screws until you have all the pieces together.
- Great chair for the price. The wood is a nice thick quality, and this chair goes great with our mid century modern décor in the house. The seat is a little stiff and made of a foam filling, but does not distract from the quality of the chair.

- I bought 2 of the Orange chair for my livingroom. They are perfect accent chairs. They are just the right color of burnt orange. Nice quality, easy to put together. The only negative thing I can say is the backs are a little bit too firm.
- Item was carefully package and delivered to my door step at no additional charge! Contents were intact and very easy to assemble. Sits a little lower than expected, but the materials are of good to fair quality. Placed in a reading room and is the kids go-to chair!
- I wish I could get these in other pastel colors! These chairs are sturdy, comfortable and easy to assemble. I’m a huge critic when it comes to items not being as advertised and these are as advertised! Good quality. Derrick Dennis, Louisville KY One happy customer

- The Ronaldo is great quality, just as pictured, and not too difficult to build! It’s comfortable but not cozy, so if you want a cozy chair this isn’t the chair for you. However, I do enjoy reading and taking calls from this chair in my room!
- It looks great, but it’s not very comfortable to sit on. The quality is good and it was very easy to install. It did take some man power to tighten all of the screws. If you’re looking for a chair more for decor, this is it.
- Very easy to put together if you actually READ the instruction manual, not just follow the illustrations Not as comfortable as I thought they would be since the foam inside is very thick, but you can definitely tell that these chairs will LAST. Very good quality!

- Nice medium-sized chair. Construction is good for the price. Not the highest end piece for furniture but I surely did not want to pay $3,000 for a design chair. This has the designer quality. You feel like Captain Kirk sitting in it.
- Good quality and easy to assemble. It would be 5 stars if the arms were taller so that it was easier to relax and rest my arms on the arm of the chair. As it is, the arms of the chair aren't tall enough to be useful or comfortable.
- Purchased two and they are perfect for the money spent. Of good quality. Only negative is the back cushion definitely gets saggy but that’s with two tiny dogs sleeping on the back and my kids being wreck less. Material is nice and I’m happy with my purchase

- Chair was just as described, very happy with it. Fabric seems of high quality and the frame is very sturdy. Legs went on easily. When it arrived there was a rip in the back, but customer service addressed the problem and we are quite happy with our purchase.
- Initial quality seems very good, especially for the price. The chair is reasonably comfortable, solid, and very easy to assemble. It's not a super "cushy" chair if that's what you're seeking. It has a firm, sturdy feel to it, but it is nonetheless comfortable and relatively lightweight.
- I absolutely love this chair! The quality and color are perfect. It's exactly as described. I purchased it for my at home massage room for people enjoy a cup of tea and have a foit soak before the massage. I've received so many compliments about how comfortable it is

- The chair looks amazing, but a little hard. However, I bought it for the look and not for daily usage. Definitely not bright orange, it’s more like a burnt orange. You can’t go wrong for the price.
- Good chair for the price. Color good not too bright but not dark. I was looking for a fun punch of color. Comfortable to sit in. I needed a chair for loft area & not everyday use. Fabric feels good. Overall nice chair.

- I like this chair but it was difficult to put together. The holes didn’t line up perfectly so I wasn’t able to screw one of the screws all the way in. The price and style are right, though. Overall satisfied with this chair.
- These chairs were a great price, are comfortable and look great! I don’t love the screw covers on the side- would look better and draw less attention if they were flush but that’s all I would change.
- This chair is amazing. Great price, very comfortable and easy to assemble. I love the color. I paired it with a poof and now we put our feet up and relax in it.
