I ordered the gray chair set and it's definitely darker than the photo, but I still love the color. It is a firm chair and doesn't have a lot of cushioning but I wanted a firm chair so it works for me. I am 5'1 150lbs and my husband is 5'10 205lbs and we both fit nicely in the chair. The chair did come with the base broken but Wayfair was excellent in correcting the problem. All in all its a great little accent chair for the price!
