After an inordinate amount of searching for what I wanted (in the price range that I was willing to pay), I ordered two stools in the dark finish w/ gray upholstery & silver nailheads.  When they arrived (packaged well, no damage), I was pleasantly shocked at how classy they are!  If your style is "transitional" or you need to stools to blend in with an eclectic assortment of modern & traditional design elements, these may work very well for you.  I bought these for a small apartment with white kitchen cabinets & black & stainless appliances, and the stools feel anchored in the space... allowing me to bring in more color and styles elsewhere.
