We live in an area with an abundant supply of snakes,  so we enclosed our front porch .  We had been on a search for something other than lawn furniture . We needed beauty, comfort, and style.   We both have back issues and arthritis and support is a must .  OH this just fit our every need perfectly!  The color is a lighter black - almost a dark grey shade, even prettier than it looked online.  The support is wonderful and "in all the right places!"    Our enclosed porch just became a place of beauty and comfort with the addition of our gorgeous recliners!   Thanks Wayfair !!!
