I purchased the grey set and love the way they look. The black would have been too harsh I think. They add a structural dimension to my space that was needed.  They dont feel like they will last a super long time but they do feel more expensive than they actually are. I think they are comfortable enough but my husband says they need cushions. My biggest complaint is the shipping cost for Hawaii. If etsy vendors can ship here for free then so should Wayfair and its subsidiaries.
