They are warm and have a bit of an orange hue to them - I would have liked lighter stools overall. The legs are definitely darker than they appear online and are not consistent between stools with one being significantly darker than the others. I've decided to keep them because they are large, sturdy and a good deal for the price. The kids also like them and I hope they will stand up to regular family use.

I am returning. They are warm and have a bit of an orange hue to them. The papercord seat is NOT comfortable for an extended period of time and is rough in texture. The legs are MUCH darker than they appear online and are inconsistent. One of the chairs was very dark compared to the others. I reached out to Perigold customer service but they were unhelpful and saw no issue. Judge for yourself from the uploaded photo. I would not recommend.

These stools are much nicer in person than in the photos. The finish and overall look feel more substantial and refined. They’re actually quite comfortable even without the pillows, which surprised me. Since they’re primarily for show and occasional use in our home, I prefer the cleaner look without ties. That said, when we have company staying and the stools get more frequent use, I’ll likely add the pillows for extra comfort. The pillow fabric is a neutral whitish-beige — very versatile — and they’re beautifully made with excellent craftsmanship. Very happy with this purchase.

Exceeded expectations- has the woven look without the scratchy feeling you come to associate with that material. Very comfortable and well made.
