The grey was darker than pictured, which actually worked very well for us. The chair looks great. All the reviews talked about it being really short... It is the same height as every other mid century modern piece I own/have seen. I have a 33" inseam and it still perfect. It was hard to tell from the photo what the fabric quality was like but it is actually really good. It does have that mid mod hardness (not super padded) to it, but we have found that to be true with every mid mod piece.
