These barstools look as good as they do in the photo.  They look great in my grey and white kitchen.   Only negative would be that the rail that you rest your feet on is set a bit too far back for comfort.  That is not obvious in the photo.  I would have liked to purchase a 3rd stool (not enough room for 4) but was told that was not possible.  Great price for the sturdiness and finish.  Satisfied, but not thrilled.
