I was nervous to order these chairs so I started with a fabric sample. I ordered 3 leather samples and each of them were spot on with what I was looking for - tough decision! I chose the Monico Gray and the quality of the leather is amazing. Its not real, but so soft and realistic in look. The chairs are great quality and design. They are heavy (high quality) and I love the back detail. They are also SO COMFORTABLE. We get rave reviews when people see them. Couldn't be happier.
