These stools are every bit as unique as the photo suggests. Also, once you put one together, the rest are good to go.  Unfortunately, several of the stools had small areas where the finish was banged or chipped. Our guess is that they didn’t leave the warehouse like that, but rather were damaged in transit (Nova Scotia is a long way from Kentuky).  Rather than return the damaged stools - we purchased four, we’re going to shop for a colour match for the finish and try to ‘touch’ them up ourselves. 
Thank you Wayfair for asking! 
Sincerely, Linda & Tom
