I bought 6 of these to replace upholstered chairs that were a terrible decision for a home with two dogs and a cat. Yuck. The color is a warm, green based gray. They almost look khaki so if you have all cool gray like my walls, I’d look carefully at the color. Luckily my table is a blend of tones so they match fine. The chairs are well made for the price. The directions are clear and all parts were well packaged and simple to sort. I put all 6 of these together with a power drill, a Phillips bit and the bit that is the same size as the included Allen wrench. Putting these together by hand is for sure possible but there are about 21 screws/bolts in each chair so I’d recommend a drill with the right bits to save a lot of time and wear on your wrist. They’re about as comfortable as a hard, straight backed chair can be. They look nice and solid and easy to clean which is what I wanted. Well worth putting together yourself to save what they cost at a mid price furniture store with delivery. All six took about 2 hours to unpack and finish for one 44yo lady who is moderately handy. You don’t need two people to do this as long as you have something like an end table to set the partially assembled chair upside down on while you attach the seat and legs. If these don’t wear well I will update this review but at the time of assembly with one use, I’m quite happy with these.
