I bought 4 of these to use at a counter-height kitchen island in an open concept apartment. We have grey carpets and grey walls in the family area, and dark wood cabinetry and floors with white countertops in the kitchen area. The grey velvet stools seamlessly blended the two. The only bad thing visually is that the zipper is fairly evident on the back. The colours were as expected. The stools were a bit tricky to put together, but are extremely comfortable and worth the effort.

I edited my review to remove a star. While I still like the stools, we were sent two replacement cushions because they appeared stained. Both of the replacement cushions were in bad condition as well. The customer service has been great, but I question the quality control in general.
