I love these chairs!! The rattan is light grayish/brown in color. The middle of the seat area is kinda springy so I told my daughter that there wouldn't be any standing on these chairs to reach anything. The back inside measures about 14" and the depth is just under 19". Hopefully I will be able to find cushions for these to add some protection, but they are comfortable to sit on even without cushions. They are delivered in one piece, so there is nothing to put together! Super cute!
