Attractive looking, although the black color is just barely brownish. I have adjusted the seats twice (once to increase the height on each, and the second on a single seat to make the heights match). Already the adjustor is making a screeching sound, but hopefully I won't need to adjust it much. They are lightweight and easy to assemble and feel sturdy. Stars knocked off for color and screeching sound, though it's really more of a 3.5 star.
