Easy to assemble, so far they feel sturdy. The fabric is a nice color, the gray has different tones to it so depending on the lighting and angle it shows different hues. The fabric is very sensitive to movement, I had to smooth down the chairs after assembling and there are still some areas that where the nap of the fabric will not lay flat. I may try putting an iron on a very low setting to them. These are being used in a minimally used main dining room. I would not recommend these for heavy use areas because the fabric is high maintenance and youll have to smooth out the fabric constantly.
