These chairs are beautiful. I got the walnut finish and they are true to the picture. My main problem is the hard plastic "sliders" added to the bottom. They cause scratches on my hardwood floors. I have added felt sticky sliders on top of those. I'm sure this won't last but it is doing the job until I can find a permanent replacement. I also plan on getting pads to help the caning hold up to the wear and tear of my two kids.
