The colour is not as 'bronze' as pictured. The metal is really very dark. The chairs seem to be of decent-good quality. They were very simple to put together. Although the bottoms of each leg have a rubber foot, I am still adding an extra little pad. Even the rubber they added is hard and will scratch my hardwood floors. My biggest complaint is that they couldn't be ordered individually.  They are very wide and I could only fit 3 at my island. Now we have an extra I guess. Overall we are happy. Not amazed, but happy.
