We love our new Abbey stools! The charcoal stools contain warm grays and raw umber tones. They are very neutral and tie our kitchen in well with the furniture in our living area. They also add visual interest and texture. They are sturdy and comfortable. Also, it was so nice to just take them out of the packaging and place them at our counter (no assembly required). They shipped quickly and came packaged nicely. We had originally ordered the natural color, but returned them. The color online looked richer and warmer than how they looked in real life (a dull light ash color).
