Beautiful chairs.  They came without a scratch or dent.  They are longer than what I expected which is great for my tall husband.  The aluminum frame is more dark slate grey than black.  I love the material for the sling.  Very well constructed and will dry quickly.  When fully reclined or laying face down they are so comfortable as there is no supporting bar across that digs in. We will be having a few afternoon snoozes in these recliners.
