These chairs are nice. The gray is a blue gray color. Fabric is nice, more chenille than linen, which is fine. I am still debating keeping them as they are shorter at the back than I was expecting - I did measure and knew the height, just wasn't sure how they would look, and they look short. They would be great in a small room. I bought 2 and they look nice together. A little stiff to sit in but that will relax. Still deciding whether I'm keeping or not.
