The chairs are SUPER DARK, the many wood details are barely noticeable because of it. Sturdy and VERY comfortable, and for that reason, kept them to go with my Timberlane Dining Table also ordered on Wayfair. The table was also darker than shown so they mesh well. One of the boxes containing 2 chairs came in soaked in oil which smelled strong. One of the 2 chairs in the box was chipped in 3 places. Fixed with a black marker (literally).
