I loved these chairs; they are solid wood, nicely finished, and comfortable. I wish they came in a bit lighter oak color and black seating, they are slightly darker than my kitchen furniture I wanted to match them to. Overall, these Steve Silver Co. chairs are awesome, and I would recommend them to anyone wanting a solid, durable, comfy chair. I also bought the matching (Greyson Living Lansing) 6 piece dining set and the counter-high bench for my kitchen counter. Looks nice all together.
