I really like these. Industrial farmhouse chic is kind of my thing, if that IS a thing. I ended up spray painting more black onto the seats. Up close, I find the new-made-to-look-distressed look is a little much. I'd rather things just wear over time. That's why I took off one star: I can wear things out and scuff them up perfectly fine on my own. ;) Bottom line: I like these. They look nice in our farmhouse-style kitchen, and I can see them working with a lot of people's decor leanings from modern to rustic to cottage, etc. They're sturdy, stackable, and stylish.
