I just moved to a new NYC apartment and sadly, several of my decorating touches would not work in the new apartment. My previous Chinese garden stools were no longer the right color, and thus I needed some new ones. GIven that this is not my main residence, I did not want to spend a fortune on these items, but still wanted something that looked good. The quality is excellent, color is true to the photos...a bit on the burgundy side but fine for my purposes. There is also some Faux distressing that adds a little celery green/ gray to the side where the handles are but I like that. The pictures show that well. They arrived in a very timely fashion, were shipped and packed very well. They are perfect as side tables to my two leather chairs. I could not be more pleased.
