I purchased the beige and it is a perfectly neutral color that blends in, a seamless integration which is essential to an open floor plan.  The antiqued brass nailhead trim compliments the fabric.  I have a cherry kitchen and was concerned about the stool legs contrasting with the cherry.  The dark wood worked ok.  I purchased 4 Beedle stools for my kitchen island to be compatible with the nearby Kyzer Side Chairs at my dining table.  Not a perfect match, but I didn’t want perfect.  These stools replaced 4 wooden ladder back stools that had become coat hangers.  Bonus  feels like more space without ladder backs even though these really comfortable stools are bigger (seat-wise) than the old hard wooden ones.  Go figure.  Assembly was easy-peasy.
