I was absolutely delighted with the color. When I ordered it said "gold" but did not show a picture. I have a gold color in the floral pattern on my pillow so I hoped it'd match. Turns out their gold is more of a tan/taupe color. Beautiful. As far as fit? Well, it fits the back fine and it went over the arms fine. It does not fit on the seat and leg rest well at all. It WILL NOT stay put on the seat cushion and there's no way to make that happen from what I can tell. So when it slides up it's covered by the pillow I mentioned earlier. Also, since I've put the cover on I can not get the leg rest to come up if I'm sitting in the chair. It's just too tight of a fit. I have to get up, pull up the leg rest, adjust the back (that slides off the seat cushion) and then sit back down. Needless to say we don't use the leg rest much anymore. It IS pretty and it did a lot for the color palette in my living room, but it is NOT functional.
