Stunning chairs!  We purchased the walnut which is a solid american walnut and has sort of a matte finish.  The seat is a little more wheat colored than the beige color shown online but i think it makes it look all the more authentic.  Love these chairs.  Waiting for our table to be delivered to see how they look together.  
Edited to add: Finally got our table and the two look perfect together.  Love these chairs.  Do note that they are on the shorter side.  Our table is 29" H and I think they are still a bit short, but I'm wondering if adding some type of floor protection on the legs will raise the chair height somewhat.
