Great stools for the price!  We only needed (and have room for) 4 of these stools at a breakfast bar in our kitchen.  However, after seeing how good these stools are we decided to purchase a fifth tool, just in case one gets damaged.  The finish is a very dark cherry and we went with the gray linen cloth, which looks nice.  The only challenge was that shipping to Canada was not straight forward and several of the chairs got caught in customs clearance and we ended up receiving multiple shipments over a longer period of time than we anticipated.
