I'm not returning because it is too much hassle, but the "gray" of the barstool I received is not the charcoal gray in the picture. The metal part is charcoal gray, but the seat is much lighter gray. Hard to describe - about the same grayness as stainless steel. Update six months later: I have fallen in love with the color and am so glad that I was able to find these stools at this price! I needed the adjustable because I have a counter height dining table and a bar height peninsula but not enough floor space to have chairs for both. These stools work perfectly; the felt on the bottom protects my hardwood floors when I slide them around. And they are extremely comfortable to sit in. They ONLY complaint I have is that the footrest is uncomfortable unless I'm wearing shoes.
