Great look and style at a very affordable price.  the finish on the seats has a little bit of a "faux" appearance but it's not terrible.  The base of the stools come with funny little plastic pieces that wrap around to act as a barrier between the metal of the base and the wood floor.  It looks like packaging.  I took it to be packaging and removed it, which was a very bad idea because the metal is rough and seriously scratched my floors.  However, the plastic pieces are cheap and temporary looking so I added felt to the bottom, which works fine and I highly recommend.
