These chairs are very unique and very nice quality. Please note, the wood is unfinished so you will want to protect it somehow. I used Danish Oil on the entire chair. I used a very small acrylic brush to get in between the leather strapping on the sides. Otherwise used a white staining clothe for the rest of the chair. They soaked up the oil rather quickly and I applied oil 3 times. Overall, very much worth a little extra work for a truly beautiful chair.
