Truthfully, I wasn't expecting too much when I ordered these counter stools; mostly because of the price.  But I needed something simple and I didn't have a lot of room for anything too large.  I had ordered them in oak, planning on sanding and repainting them in a color to match my decor.  However, when I received them, I was so delighted because they had more of a burnt orange and golden hue to them which matched perfectly with my colors.  These counter stools are very solidly built and have subtle notched ends to make them more attractive.  Unfortunately, the pictures don't reflect how attractive these little guys are!  I am totally thrilled!  Best buy ever!!
