I ordered the gray version and the color was as expected upon arrival. The cushion of the seat and back is very good: firm, yet somewhat springy. Assembly required a little bit of elbow grease, but I prefer this because it showed me how sturdy the construction and solid the real wood frame is. The wood color of the chair legs are a dark brown and they come with coasters on their feet, so that you don't scratch solid floor surfaces. These were a perfect match for my wooden farmhouse dining table.
