they feature a blackened wood frame with a patina acquired over time, and a light-colored braided rope seat.

they are also known with a straw seat; here, the braided rope version gives them a beautiful scandinavian look.

we love the overall curves, with their slender legs.
the light-colored seat contrasts elegantly with the dark base.

the braiding is very tight and elegant, though it has some imperfections and a few damaged strands. This does not detract from the overall sturdiness or the comfortable seating. The flaws are primarily visual.

the base has a patina on the black paint/stain, with some variations in color and a few areas of missing material.
