I love these bar stools, but I feel compelled to tell other viewers a few issues I had. First off, the color of seat is more of a cherry vs a mahogany. I was hoping for more of a pottery barn type of "dark". No big deal. I can live with it. Secondly, upon looking at the seat, I found there was pre drilled holes to attach to the stool. I had to do some manual labor and place the seat on the stool, draw the holes in, then pre drill, etc........ Again, no big deal, but it would be nice to have something to go by and no take the chance of not matching the holes right and having a crooked seat. (that didn't happen thank goodness)
Overall I am pleased, and I think it was a good purchase. I guess if I want a darker finish, I could consider painting the stools.
