We purchased two of these for our living room. The fabric is a hefty weave of black and white that comes off as a dark grey. The seats are wide, great for a larger guest or for sitting in cross-legged if you are smaller. I am short, so I use a pillow behind to take up the extra seat room that my body doesn't need. My husband, who is average height, comfortably sits with or without a pillow. Although it is a larger chair, the design keeps it from taking up much visual space, and the arms are actually quite comfortable. Definitely would purchase this chair again.
