Love the chair! Quality is very good, seat is firm...I will be adding a pillow for lumbar support.  Fabric is a black and white tweed but if you look really closely you will also see a faint muted gold color running throughout.  I think this color thread helps keep it from looking really stark with just black and white.  I wouldn't have noticed the extra color if I hadn't closely examined the fabric.  Again, you can't see it unless you are seriously looking for it. Overall, very impressed with every aspect of chair.
