Was just what I read in all the reviews on this product.  Chose the grey and it was the shade of grey I wanted.  Don't like the blond leg color, but that can be painted.  It is small and not the sturdiest so I wouldn't recommend this chair for a room that children use.  Do like the fact it is made in the USA.  Just received it so don't know how it will take the wear and tear of use.  Am using it in our guest room so it shouldn't be used as much.  I do like the fact that one can throw your legs over the side and get comfortable and read a book.
