The ladder back chair style is exactly what I was looking for seating at the island counter in the kitchen.  The color is a slightly distressed gray with a nice finish.  Easy to assemble & very sturdy.  Highly satisfied with look & quality for this price!   I looked at lots of counter stools and all were a much higher price and couldn’t find what I wanted for a decent price and then I found these counter stools.  Very Happy.   I have had x1 week so I can’t comment on finish or durability over time yet.
