The chair is the perfect size.  I had been considering buying larger chairs, ones around 40 inches wide, but now that this model arrived, I realized that even a 30 inch wide chair(this one) is already quite wide.  Anything bigger would have overpowered my 16x16 family room.    The color of the chair in 'ivory' is a light greige color and would look good with both beige and gray decor.   It is very comfortable for a firm, non-cushy chair.  The best part is how high the armrests are - they are at just the right height.  Many of the other chairs I looked at had low armrests. The seat is a good height also (we are 5'11 and 6'2 tall).  There is no head support, but that's ok.  It would be easy to lounge in this chair for a few hours.   Hopefully the chairs will wear well!
