I ordered two of these chairs in beige but knew before I took them out of the box that I'd have to return them because they were undoubtedly taupe. The boxes were marked "beige", so I don't think I was sent the wrong color by the warehouse. I was also very disappointed by how narrow they are. I purchased these chairs for the heads of my large dining room table, but they are much too small for that purpose. Actual dimensions are 46.9 H, 19.5 W and 19.6 D. My husband, who is not a particularly wide man, laughed when he saw them and said he would never fit in them. I think they would be aesthetically nice as side chairs, but you'd need another option for your larger guests.
