I wanted to replace my fabric dining chairs because they really hold on to the cat hairs, and I figured with these chairs, they would easily brush off and not cling to them. I am really happy with my purchase, just a little surprised when I saw the actual color. Online the pictures look like a dark brown leather, however, it is truly Taupe as it says. I think it looks more like soft-serve chocolate ice cream, a light brown, which still look great. I thought I would need my husband's help in assembling them as there were no instructions. However, when I looked at everything, I thought "piece of cake" and I put them all together myself. Overall I am very happy with the quality, durability, look, price, and the speedy delivery.
