Ordered these for our kitchen bar that's chair level.  We have 2 boys and so far, we've been able to get out stains from spilled food.  The colors are great and neutral.  We have distressed wood in our living room (which opens to the kitchen) and it is the right accent to flow with the decor in both rooms!  Make sure to tighen all screws tightly.  We've had a few come out and have had to reinsert them.  Also, we have hardwood floors so we had to remove the bottom plastic protector and place a full felt covering over the bottom of each leg.
