First, these chairs are very comfortable and I really liked them. Second, they are NOT dark gray. They are slate - blue/gray, so if you are trying to match certain colors, be sure you get a slate or blue/gray swatch. Abbyson Living and Great Offer Stock need a better picture that depicts the color correctly and need to correct the description. 3rd - I had a terrible time returning them because they were an "oversize" delivery, so beware. I got no response to two requests to return. So, I gave them 3 stars, not because of comfort and style, but misleading color description and return nightmare.
