We are taking these to our daughter who lives overseas, so haven't assembled them yet. But I want to clarify two things: the fabric is brown and ivory. Not grey or beige or anything else. It's a very nice linen look and seems durable. The other is the question of recovering them, which a Wayfair employee says you can do. No you can't. You could recover the seat if you wanted. But the back is fabric all around with piping, so you can't change that fabric.
All the parts look like good quality and the packaging, especially of the small assembly parts is good too.
