So.... I do for the most part like the look of these stools, but the threading is definitely pretty orange. My big problem is the tiny metal balls, literally thousands of them, scattered all over my living room when I opened this. I have a crawling 8 month old who I'm hoping didn't ingest any (I'm going to call the pediatrician in the morning to see what I should be concerned for if she did) I am seriously disappointed in this and will have to spend hours cleaning my floors to make sure they are all gone.
