These are great chairs for the price. The fabric is like gray tweed and looks really nice. From the pictures I thought they looked a little tannish, but they are actually a really nice gray. They are perfect if you have gray walls and are worried about the grays matching. The tweediness breaks up the color a bit so it doesn't look like just gray on gray. They're sturdy and comfortable. You could actually sit in these comfortably for a long time. They are even more comfortable if you have a small lumbar pillow. Highly, highly recommend.
