first things first, the light grey colour is beautiful for what its worth! The velvet has a nice grey glow almost with the right lighting, as well as being soft to the touch. Would definitely recommend if you have the colour scheme for modernism or even just a gradient of black to white in your home. The things just holding me back from giving this 5 stars is the large seem on the back as well as the vertical lines on the back of the chair, but this is just my niche taste!
