These chairs are beautiful! Black color is more of a dark brown but expected that based off other reviews. The ease of putting them together was astounding! I was prepared to take about 30 minutes a chair based off the other reviews but it only took me about an hour for all 6 chairs I got. It was a breeze, and they are just so comfy to sit in, I’m probably going to get some removable seat cushions to help with the hardness for long dinners.  Overall great chairs!
