We purchased these for the ends of our dining table to add a more traditional feel to our modern table and side chairs. The size is  great and color is light grey-no blue or lavender tint. The downside is that it was difficult to assemble due to the bolts not lining up properly and the allen wrench cannot make a full turn. We have assembled countless pieces of furniture and consider ourselves experienced. The other negative is that the chairs are hard and not cushioned at all. They look nice and will not be used that ofter so I still give them 4 stars.
