I wasn't quite sure what to expect when ordering these.  Reviews were primarily good, but you still never know, especially since the price was about half of what other suppliers were asking for the same or very similar stools.  Boy, was I surprised!  These stools are absolutely beautiful!  I ordered the black base and was expecting the finish to be a smooth painted finish, which may easily be scratched.  But the finish is a heavy powered finish, and is sure to be extremely durable.  And, the wood seats are stained with a perfect finish, with no rough or jagged edges, very smooth.  I can't wait to set these up in my new space I'm currently working on for relaxation and entertaining.  Good job Wayfair!!
