We have been searching for barstools for a long time. We loved the customer service that answered our questions to help us find the right stools for our family. We received our barstools 2 days as promised, free shipping, they were packaged very well to avoid any damage or lost parts, even though one box was ripped 5" on a side corner the chair was untouched and in perfect shape! It was easy to assemble and the stools are so very nice! Sturdy, well made, heavy duty, roomy and comfy and don't tip over when our 4 yr old grandson climbs in them. To me the finish looks more walnut than dark cherry but they are perfect for what we were looking for, we are very happy with the 2 we bought and considering ordering another one!
