The color of the chair is definitely blue, not grey, but it worked well with my decor anyway! It's very comfortable for longer periods, and the seat padding doesn't stay compressed when you get up. I loved the fact that it rocked and reclined, but it does not do both at the same time. I'm 5'4 and my feet touch the ground when I'm sitting in the chair, which is a plus for me. It was delivered quicker than expected and was really easy to assemble! My husband had it put together in about 5 min. Great buy for the nursery, and considering ordering another for our living room.
