I showed my sister the new bar stools she was very impressed and pointed out the gold tacks coordinates well with the gold specks and veins in my black granite countertops. I like the bar stools very much they also go well with my stainless steel and black appliances. The bar stools also work well with my Spanish style architecture. Even an electrical contractor commented on them yesterday as being nice bar stools. Very sturdy and beautiful finish, Overall, a good purchase.
