Don't let the photos fool you, these are 'dark brown'.  I asked Wayfair to update their description, will see if that ever happens.  We were looking for reddish-brown chairs like in the photos; what we got were dull, dark brown chairs.  Plus they were taller than what we had (both seat & back) - not a big deal, but just be aware they may be taller than normal.  Otherwise they seem to be sturdy chairs - time will tell.  Not the best quality, but acceptable for the price we paid.
