You will be absolutely IN LOVE with the color if you're searching for hot pink! This color is so bright and loud it's like a gentle punch in the face, in the best way possible. Sadly, the cat is not included but you can find your own at an animal shelter near you. ")These chairs are sturdy and comfortable while also being lightweight. I use them in my body contouring studio and get compliments daily on them. They aren't exactly cozy meaning they aren't meant to snuggle up in for the long haul. However for my use, or maybe a nail salon ect, they are perfect.The gold accents are gorgeous and come well protected during shipping. I had them both fully assembled in less than 10 mins. The legs basically cross like an "X" with an Allen bolt that holds them in the center. Then a bolt on each leg connects the base to the chair. So easy a child could put them together!
