These are good chairs, solid.  The grey is a little darker than I anticipated, but not worth fussing over.  They're very substantial chairs; easy to put together.  I feel like I can have heavier guests without them feeling uncomfortable or embarrassed to sit in some thin chair that may not be sturdy.  My only criticism is tiny imperfections with the upholstery.  One section of trim in the back is a little frayed at the edges.  I fixed with a careful dab of glue.  The piping at one of the corners was coming loose and you could see a staple.  I hammered that in place and added a dab of glue there, too.  Minor attention-to-detail things, but sloppy.  It wasn't a big enough thing to pack everything up again and return the chairs, but I would be lying if I didn't say that I wasn't somewhat disappointed.
