This is a very nice recliner.  I bought wheat, and I'd say it is a light gray color which is exactly what I was hoping for. It's very pretty and is as described, except for one thing. The reason I took a star off is because in the product description, it says that it is microfiber, but it is not. I bought it specifically wanting microfiber because it's easier to clean. This is more like a linen material, something I feel will be much harder to keep clean, especially given the light color. Otherwise, the chair is beautiful and is as expected. The seat is hard, as others have stated. It feels like you're "sitting high", but I like that and it is very comfortable to me. Lying back is also comfortable. I'm 5'7" and I fit perfectly in it. I'm still trying to decide whether to send it back because of the material mixup, but it is a very nice chair.
