These are in NO WAY gray, like the description says.  They are a medium to dark brown with black brush strokes to make them looked 'weathered' (I guess).  I think I'm keeping them because I will try to use them somewhere else, but I was quite disappointed since I was trying to match some other gray stools I had already purchased.  These are not even close.  Wayfair and Joss & Main (where I purchased these through) REALLY need to update the description information since these are most definitely brown with NO gray on them and don't look anything like the photo.  I even checked the box to make sure we didn't get a wrong color, but no, the boxes both said gray.  Disappointing.
