These counter stools came quickly, seemed to be packed well, were a little tricky to assemble but are very attractive. The gray is a nice brownish gray, changing with the light. I got two sets, and one of the four chairs is perfect, two are great but wobble a bit on uneven legs no matter what I try to adjust, and the fourth was delivered with two legs poking out of the cardboard. The leg tips were worn and torn from exposure during shipping, but Wayfair offered three options for refund/return/exchange so it worked out fine. I do like the “leather” fabric seats and the black metal frame and footrest bars.
