I love these chairs!  They were extremely easy to put together and they feel really solid.  The coloring is great on the wood and is very comfortable.  The metal is smooth and a lighter charcoal gray and the chair feet have rubber bottoms.  We decided to add felt rounds to the feet so they slide easier, but the rubber bottoms did not damage the floor. I was concerned about the backs, but they work well for us and our young children.  Overall a great purchase and happy customer!
