I bought two of these chairs in gray. They are a little bit lighter than the picture, but it doesn't bother me at all. The chairs shipped in large boxes, so all you have to do is screw in the legs! The only thing I would want to improve is the sturdiness of the chair. They feel a little flimsy, but that is to be expected for the price. Overall, it is a great product. I love them so much, and they are the perfect addition to my living room!
