These chairs go absolutely perfectly at my kitchen counter.  My kitchen cabinets are white & my counters are white/gray Silestone "marble".  I love these chairs because I have hints of natural wood throughout my kitchen to "warm it up" a bit.  I had to talk my husband into my "vision" with the decor, but now that he sees everything in place, he loves it too.  These are well built and put together quickly (by hubby).  The seat color has a textured look to it.  Just lovely!
