Great, comfortable chairs for a dining/kitchen table.  I have been looking for affordable, good quality chairs with this contemporary look for about 6 months - really.  For the money these can't be beat.  Have had them about three weeks and they appear very sturdy.  Seat is a comfortable and durable leather-like material that cleans easily and will not be stained by my kids' spills.  Very cool contemporary look.  I would characterize the color as extra dark walnut and fits great with other dark walnut and esspresso colors we have in the room.  Easy to assemble but the directions had two sets of screws identified in reverse.  Screws that instructions indicate should secure the front legs and back legs of the chair to the seat should be switched.  Two of the chairs had legs that weren't exactly level and wobbled a bit on my hard woods, but it was easily remedied with the felt I put on the feet.  I don't think you would have noticed the wobble the on carpet.
