Just built a new house and needed 4 stools that would work with the dark cherry kitchen. These were perfect, and the price was amazing.  The quality is fine, assembly was not difficult...they look great.  I would NOT call them "light cherry".  They are darker, as pictured.  A helpful sales rep. called the supplier to be sure I ended up with the right color. If I ever need more barstools, I will shop here again.
