I ordered two of these chairs in gray. Judging by the gray in the picture, I was expecting a little bit lighter gray but it ended up being okay. These chairs are pretty comfortable and the size was exactly what I needed for any open concept living space. I needed a lower profile accent chair to not impeded the view. I will say, these chairs shipped assembled except for  the feet, which turns out it a lot trickier to determine which direction they should face! I don't guess it matters as long as both are the same? Overall I am pleased. Just keep in mind stock photos probably have more light which make the color appear lighter than it actually is.
