They have tons of styles and if you find a furniture store near you that carries the line, you can customize both the metal finish and fabric/faux leather seat. Downside to customizing is they're all made to order in Canada so expect 8-10 weeks. However - if they have them stocked online at HD or something thats even better! Quality is great: sturdy steel bases, comfy cushions and stylish. 10 year warranty and they do contract so their pieces are made to last.
