Great look! The slate is almost a blue Grey which goes prefect with my decor. Everyone has said the cushion is firm, which is true, but the chair is actually pretty comfortable. Recommend a foot stool or ottoman to put your feet up. My only concern is it seems to be off-gassing some chemical. Most furniture does but this is a noticeable chemical smell that I'm hoping will go away with time. Overall love the chair and happy with my purchase. Quality is great for the price.
