Just got 2 of these bar stools and I love them.  The base is a dark grey/brown and I was a bit worried about that, but it looks great with my multi-wood colored kitchen, dark brown cabinets, and stainless steel appliances.  Really blends well with the colors.  They are surprisingly comfortable and I love that they come already put together.  We haven't used them a lot, but appear sturdy and that they will last a long time.
