I purchased these chairs to be used in the small breakfast area of my daughter's kitchen that I have completely remodeled for her using white cabinets, silvery-grey walls, grey arabesque backsplash and Calcutta marble countertops.  I was looking for something unique to complete the look, and these are absolutely perfect.  They have a very high-end look, were very easy to put together, and are comfortable.  I wouldn't say they're the most comfortable chairs I have ever sat on, but they are comfortable.   As others have stated, the legs are black, but I personally like them.  All-in-all, I am very pleased--so much so that I am ordering two more!!
