This is a really nice looking chair.  My husband (big guy) loves it!  The first one we got was missing some parts, but AllModern sent a new one within a week.  The wood is a nice color, almost looks like walnut.  The fabric is more of a sky blue than gray.  And the seat is really firm, which we like.  I am so happy we didn't spend $500 on another chair that looked almost exactly like this one.  Such a bargain!  We are considering buying the matching loveseat.
