I bought the grey linen and it is true to the description. It's not solid grey, it's the "linen" look. Visually they are exactly what I want but I'm concerned over the sturdiness. I always joke with guests, "I put these together myself, sit at your own risk!" Because they feel a little wobbly. I get nervous when someone leans back in their chair! It's only an allen wrench used to assemble them. I have bought other chairs before that require assembly that are a lot more sturdy. But for someone like myself who doesn't use the chairs a ton, they are very stylish and complement my casual dining area really nicely.
