Well I did order black, they match the décor better and my wife seemed to be more accepting of the black since we have a black, tan, and grey in the rest of the room. I kind of wish they would have had a flat grey which I would have loved but no dice.

I actually did not go demo them, I am making a leap of faith since Clayton of Spatial has a fairly long 60 day demo period that I can return them. I am really hopeing I love them other owners explain them in ways that make me think they are exactly what I am looking for.
