LOVE THESE CHAIRS!!! The finish is not what I was expecting because they're a little more rustic than it appears in the photo but they match beautifully and I love the color, which is a grey-ish taupe - not a white-wash as described. So even though they aren't what I was expecting, I'm very happy with them. They're very sturdy chairs. Some assembly is required. They were packed well and there wasn't any damage from shipping.
