The chair is gorgeous! Excellent Quality! I know previous reviewers say the taupe is gray however I would have to disagree I have a light grey sofa and dark grey drapes and as you can see the chair is clearly a soft taupe color. Maybe stand alone I can see where one might say grey but the color is a true soft taupe. Either way I kept it because it soften my grey decor and immediately ordered a second one. If the color works purchase it the quality is again excellent!
