Beautiful, sturdy chairs that we easy to put together. The color is very dark brown to black with some distressed brush strokes, which are perfect for a modern farmhouse decor. We ordered 8 of them to go with the table that my husband is building. One the the chair legs appeared to be cracked and repaired upon manufacturing in the factory. I contacted Wayfair and they promptly shipped a new chair and even better, we don't have to ship the other chair back. Great customer service is what keeps customers coming back for more!
