These barstools are excellent quality.  They are beautiful and just what I was looking for.  [...] all of the 6 barstools were scratched either on the metal (where you can't really fix it) or on the wood back (these we used a marker to cover up).  Some of the scratches were pretty big.(These are not from the distressed finish either--definitely big scratches)   But overall, I do love the barstools and the price was right.
