We just put these together last night, before we had friends over. We don’t have a dining room table yet so we ate at the bar, and these are so comfortable, we sat long after dinner, just visiting before realizing we could move onto the living room. They were easy to assemble, and my (big guy) husband was very happy with the sturdiness of them. The tone of the wood legs is very golden, and I don’t love it with my reddish bar, but I think they would look lovely in a more neutral wood tone kitchen. The upholstery color is definitely not beige, as previously mentioned in other reviews, but it is a pretty buttery Cream color. I was glad I got the light colored ones because they really brightened up my kitchen. Overall very happy.
