I ordered these to put in my dining area and help fill a huge space.  They arrived so fast--practically the next day.  Smelled strong of varnish, but I didn't mind it.  The odor went away after a couple days.  They are made VERY well, and the color is dark enough to seem modern but you can see the actual woodgrain, so they add a rustic vibe.  I have them on white walls next to a large wrought iron mirror.  They are sturdy, and worth every cent.  Great buy!
