I really love the finish of these--a dark dark brown, and it's coated pretty thick so the chances of a visible scratch are low.  The only issue is have is the cushions--I adore the coloring of both cushions, but they are too thick for my liking.  I have shorter legs and arms, so the bottom cushion caused me to not reach my feet to the chair rail, and my arms didn't rest comfortably on the arm rests.  However, when i took the cushion off (which is not entirely uncomfortable, mind you) it was the perfect seat height.  Luckily, thinner cushions are very easy to purchase separately.  I also really like the swivel feature--it's great for small spaces!
