They are real wood and already have felt on the bottom of each leg which is a nice touch. They look beautiful and are very sturdy and comfortable to sit in.

After four years, they are still comfortable and look great, just a few stains, but that’s my fault and I have the light grey ones that I haven’t ever spot cleaned.
