Not as great as I had hoped

I don't feel like the chair is as proportionate as I would like. The seat is very large. Also it is VERY hard to tell in the pictures but it is distressed...there are brown smears (looks like chocolate) and black lines - I think it is all intentional but it just looks messy and not natural. Also I wish the chair were higher - it is only 24" tall but I am short so I'd love an extra couple of inches. I'm debating returning them but the return shipping costs scare me.

Love my stools !

They are so sturdy and came packaged impeccably. They look amazing. Very pricey but worth it. My New kitchen looks amazing. People ooh and ahhh when the see them. I spilled bean soup all over one of them and it cleaned up and looks perfect. Plus matches my turquoise pendant lights with the quatrefoil pattern. I like how I have something people don’t see often.
