Really like this chair! Color is like a heather grey. Material feels nice - not too soft but has a slight brushed feel. Seat feels supportive but comfortable to sit on but also has room to sit crossed legged (or camp-style) which I do sometimes when at my desk for long durations. Swivel is smooth, height adjustment and all wheels work well. Haven't noticed any noises or creaking. I am 5'3" and the lowest height setting is perfect for me.
