The chairs are very nearly exactly as I expected. The colours of the wood and the upholstery are quite true to the pictures. The legs seem to me to be slightly more chunky than they appears in the picture, not as delicate. The wood is described as "weathered" or "distressed" I can't remember exactly, but still it's more rough in spots than I expected. The upholstery is comfortable and it's a solid, well built piece.
