Oh my goodness.  I have a vintage dining table and chairs and have been searching for best stools for the kitchen.  Not only do they magically match - the brown and the black- but it also is perfect for my modern kitchen with the chrome base.   Next came the unexpected comments from guests.  They look so amazing and are comfy.  The only weird thing is the silver plastic piece on the bottom that covers the pole to the base. You can't readmit notice it but when I put it together I thought how silly.   BUY THESE!
