I purchased 3 barstools in the red. The design is beautiful. The stools are very comfortable. The red is very nice and it does look old (somewhat). The paint job is very uniformed and the seat design looks like a sun. I sanded mine so that it looks a bit more natural. Overall, I really love them! The were very easy to assemble; however 1 of the 3 I purchased is not straight. They were a little pricey considering the fact that the paint design isn't natural looking and 1 of 3 is crooked.
