I got 3 chairs for my cat and 1 for me. I only have 1 cat but she sleeps everywhere. They were easy to assemble and once together, my cat immediately started checking them out (she was busy checking out the nice large box while I put them together). They look nice and once kitty sat down on the chair, she started purring so I knew they were good (kitty has high standards when it comes to chairs). I tried one out and I agreed. Kitty is happy sleeping on her 3 chairs while I sit on mine. They are more dark grey/charcoal than black though. Good chairs, specially for kitties.
