We have a red mahogany toned hardwood floor and purchased the walnut- matches almost perfectly.  The chairs are really comfortable and look really beautiful. There were a few little scratches on the wood when we pulled it out – looks like some of the finish might  have been scratched in packaging the product. There are little plastic pads on the bottom of the legs, I assume to keep it from scratching. Unfortunately, they did not work on our  floors – we now have a pretty big scratch from the chairs, but will just get felt pads to put on the bottoms.  Assembly was pretty easy, but we did have an issue with one of the holes not being drilled out correctly, so one of the chairs  has a screw that's not totally place because of that.
