The look is exactly what we were looking for, they are perfect for our newly renovated kitchen. However the top of them is a little bit itchy, but as long as you are wearing pants or shorts or a skirt they are fine. My children sit on them and don’t always have those on so they have to throw a blanket beneath so they don’t itch when they sit. I am confident that they will smooth out over time. And for the price, definitely worth it!!!
