Very nice design and easy to put together however, espresso finish looks like cherry or mahagony and when I inquired about this, I was told that each of the 3 stools I ordered would cost approximately $30 to ship back. So, I will either learn to live with the color or find a person in my area that can work with this finish so that it doesn't look "painted". Hoping the rest of my furniture is what I envisioned.
