I ordered both 30" high stools for our bar height counter (4 of them), and 24" high (two of them) for our counter height island.  They are true to color.  Our cabinets are a honey oak.  We have a copper sink.  These stools are enough of a contrast with the oak and they highlight the copper sink.  Very happy with the feel of the seat.  Comfortable.  Feel very sturdy.  I preferred the stationary backs as our grandsons can't swivel and bang the edges on the counter top.  Quite easy to put together.
