I love them! I was afraid because other reviewers said these stools had a shimmer and I didn't want them to look tacky. They don't at all! It really is so subtle and I love the clean lines and nailheads. I'd call them casual-elegance. I also love that the fabric is more white than ivory as it goes with my decor more. No creaminess or yellow tint whatsoever. More of a cool tone white- just perfect! I plan to order one or two more later.
