I Loved These Chairs, The Linen Is Truly Taupe In Color, Slightly On The "Greige" Side Of The Taupe Spectrum. Near Browns They Looked Creamy Taupe, Near Grey They Looked More Beigey With Grey Undertones, I Love When A Chair Can Do That. The Only Thing I Think You Should Be Concerned About Is The Legs. They Definitely Are Not The Color In These Photos--Which Is Much Better For Most People Who Don'T Want Orange/Red Legs. They Are Medium-Dark Brown, Pine Legs. They Have A Slight Ashy Tone To The Brown Which Is Perfect For Blues And Grays. However, There Are A Few Yellow Areas Mixed Into The Wood Grain. They Don'T Stick Out, But Give It A Very Natural Wood Appearance. Material And Seams Were Good, The Black Cover On The Bottom Was A Little Sloppy, But No One Sees That. Assembly Took Me About 15 Minutes, Very Easy. It Is The Back With Legs All As One Piece, The Seat And Two Front Legs. Simply Bolt Together In A Way That Makes Sense And You'Re Good To Go.
