Overall a great barstool. I originally ordered 2 for my tall counter space and unfortunately one of them arrived damaged. Wayfair has the best customer service and had a new one to me a couple of days later. The description does say they are espresso, but when the sunlight hits them, they come off pretty red which is a little strange since my dining room set that they are right next to is also in espresso and they do not have a hint of red.
