I thought that these would be a more premium version of the wood Francis, but a couple things let me down. 1) There is wood, but there is much less of it and what is there is clearly more superficial, just being a tiny strip along each arm. 2) The lenses are essentially clamped in place and where that clamp occurs (near the hinges) there is a seam that is much more obvious in person than it is in pictures.
Nevertheless, on clearance, I was impressed with the value. The nose pads are color matched metal, not cheap clear plastic, the whole package feels substantial and premium. Despite the praises, I think I still prefer the original Francis in wood.
