The leather is a soft leather and more like a suede. Its very pretty. The greybis exactly as I imagined. The legs are also a good color. However 4 stars for the installation. It was so hard to install the metal foot rest that I scratched the wood legs with the screws. Definitely need brute strength and force to put it in. Dent be afraid to hold them apart. You wont break it. Better than scratching the furniture!
