Easyyyy assembly! It took me only 10 minutes. Most straight forward directions ever! The grey is the exact grey I ordered. Fits perfectly with the color scheme of my apartment. I wanted white but this grey does not disappoint. It’s actually what I needed in the first place. Loveeeeeee these. Came in perfect condition!!! Was behind on delivery by a few days but given the covid-19 circumstances, I understand which is why i didn’t deduct a star in my rating. The quality of my chair and Ease of assembly far exceeds that minor mishap.
