This chairs are very pretty but a little bit different than what I was expecting. The gold hardware is very light yellow and shiny  gold tone that looks sort of fake, I would have preferred it to be brass. Also, one of my chairs came with a brownish stain that is very noticeable in the Cream color. I do like the chairs and Im going to keep only because I think that the gold hardware is not so obvious when next with my Solid wood table, but If you have other items with gold accents in your dining room, then this would not look great.
