I got this chair in gray a few months ago, and I love it/think it was a great purchase (especially since the ottoman comes with it). It only took a few minutes to put together, and I use it almost every day. There are a few things to keep in mind: 1) The gray is slightly darker than pictures show - it's definitely more charcoal 2) There is a visible zipper up the back of the chair. This doesn't bother me because I have it in a corner, but it's a consideration if you're thinking about putting it in the center of a room 3) The chair surprisingly comfortable, but it's definitely not soft. You should plan on keeping a throw pillow on it if you like having more cushion.
