This is a very nice set! I love the color. It is gray, I see no brown in this at all. The color is not too dark or too light. Its just right. I really like the fabric on the chairs. Its sturdy. Installation was not hard at all if you follow instructions. Tighten everything good and you have a nice sturdy set. No wobbly at all like some people say here. It doesnt look cheap either. It is a really nice set for the price.
