I guess it is true "you get what you pay for". While the price was quite reasonable when the chairs (4) arrived I was disappointed. Every single leg on all four chairs was damaged. It appears that the shipping wrap was put on before the stain was completely dry and left marks everywhere on the wood. I am happy with the color of the wicker and they blend well with my oak table. The stain is a warm brown with shading. I will be using chair cushions as the wicker is not going to be comfortable without padding. I will be contacting Amazon to try and resolve this issue.
