This set of chairs was so simple to assemble. It literally took me 10 minutes per chair and I have weak hands. The color is a charcoal gray with tiny specks of darker gray and black while the legs are a chestnut brown these definitely are not gray washed legs so just a heads up on color. I knew that when I ordered them though. The depth of the seat is a little short it hits me mid-thigh and I’m 5’7” so keep the measurements in mind when ordering. They won’t be very comfortable for tall people. The cushions are okay, not the best quality, but I expect them to hold up fairly well. All in all they’re beautiful chairs and will fit perfectly in my daughter’s new apartment.
