Received 3 of these bar stools with no damage. It took about 45 min ea to assemble each. Instructions were good. The fit & finish was very good. Seat material is nice, and is a blend of off white and light grey. My only concern is the steel pivot/swivel is not the greatest, especially if you weigh over 225 lbs, as there’s quite a bit of flex, which causes the upper part of the chair to rub the lower part of the chair when you lean slightly back into the backrest, and swivel left or right.
