These are good looking barstools that have a simple clean look.  They are not over distressed and sturdy.  They are wooden so don't expect comfort for long periods of sitting.  They are perfect for our family when we sit at our kitchen counter bar for a meal.  Wipe them clean with a damp cloth and your done.  Hopefully when they get scratched and chipped (and that is sure to happen) I will be able to touch them up with a dark stain or paint.
