I ordered 12 of these chairs in the black/charcoal.  The "leather" is definitely a distressed look - it looks great, just know it is intentionally distressed.  They have been using the chairs for about 2 months, one of the swivels has malfunctioned - but of course, Wayfair is replacing (in the 90 day warranty period).  The chairs are rather heavy, if you are putting them on carpet you might want to add casters to make them easier to move.  Generous in size and pretty comfortable.
