This was a housewarming gift for my daughter and son-in-law.  I asked them to pick out 4 bar stools (for their breakfast bar) as a housewarming gift.  They chose the Irvington bar stools.  Not what I would have chosen.  I went to their house for dinner & saw the chairs.  They were a PERFECT choice for their kitchen (mahogany cabinets, black granite counter tops & stainless steel appliances).  The pictures do not do them justice.  The seats are a very strong wood color (looks kind of washed out in the photos), they are comfortable and just a clean look.  Perfect choice for their new home!
