The barstools are very pretty but the powdery substance they use to make them the grey distressed color comes off. We got ours out of the packaging and the grey powder rubbed off on our hands. We tried wiping them down but that just completely took the grey stuff off and changed the color of the stools. We still haven’t been able to get them completely clean to where they don’t rub off on our clothes when we sit in them. They’re a beautiful stool but we were disappointed that the stuff came off the way it did. You can tell the difference in the color of the chair we have cleaned and the one we have not in the photo above.
