We've had this chair for about a week now and have really like it so far. The color is like a beige gray. It's much more of a rocker than a glider. Love that it is a power recline, very quiet. It is the perfect height for me (5'4"). My very tall husband likes it too, but does not support his head. My only complaint is that on the backrest the one side is gathered and the other side is nice and smooth. Looking forward to rocking my babe in this chair!
