Love the stools. However, they do not look as gray as the Wayfair pictures. I wanted a darker (more charcoal finish) so when I saw the pictures submitted by other customers I was happy with the color. They are exactly what I have been waiting for. Swivel, padded, and have a back. The are comfortable and were very easy to put together. After reading that a few customers mentioned the wood splitting-I did purchase the extra warranty. Very happy so far!
