Pros The chairs are beautiful and firm.  The grey is a perfect neutral (could be played as dark or light depending on the room and other furniture).  I love the handle it is such a cool touch (and this is what sold me on this chair)!  Assembly was easy and straightforward.  I love how the velvet and gold adds a little luxe to our otherwise simple space.

Cons The gold is very yellow (consistent with pictures and description on site).  The little plastic pieces at the bottom of the feet make it a bit difficult to slide on the carpet.
