These are very pretty in person. I would say that the gray is a little darker in person, as is the finish, but fairly close to the picture. The fabric is a really nice basketweave with tones of gray in it and the finish on the legs is a honey color. In general, for the price, these look good! Assembly is easy to follow, but will take a little bit of time. We had 6 of these and it took around an hour and a half (and I have a drill that fits these screws so I didn't have to hand tighten everything). The seat isn't very comfortable for me (5'5" woman), since the back angles back pretty far. But still generally comfortable for a dining area that doesn't see a ton of use.
