I’d like to say I love these chairs but instead, I like them a lot. I purchased in the graysilver combo as my kitchen accessories are all silver. I do think they’d look better in gold but in my tiny kitchen, I don’t want to mix metals. For the price I thought they were great. My only true gripe is the stitching which is a bit more noticeable than I’d prefer. It makes them slightly less “high end”. The seat has ample padding without adding too much height and the back sits at my 5’4 body right at my mid back. I may have to add a third chair as my bar is slightly bigger than I thought it was. I think you’ll be happy with these simple, modern chairs.
