Hi Barbara! Thank you for your request for more information concerning our bar stools. In response to your enquiry, the Regents Park Bar Chair 2404823 is upholstered in polyester black velvet finish. Silver studs on its apron produce a metallic contrast to the rich black and made from sustainable tropical hevea wood, the gently curving black legs support a circular footrest. I hope the above is useful to you. If you require any further information, feel free to contact us. Cheers! - Mark, Love Furniture
