This was the easiest set of chairs to put together, the grey color is a darker grey, I was afraid it would get dirty easy but, I saw the wheat color at a home goods for 399 and didn't like the color at all. It was a beige with black streaks... so happy i got these ones. They are super comfy . The recliner is hard to put down with your legs. I have to get up to push ot down but hopefully it will loosen or wear in over time. The bottom pillow comes put of you want to clean it. Overall happy with my purchase
