Well made and nice they came assembled. The Pomegranate color is not as red as shown in the photo, but still a nice reddish brown. The website description says faux leather, but the box said bonded leather. Bonded leather will sometimes fall apart in 5-8 years, so don't think you're buying long lasting furniture. The faux/bonded leather does have a more plastic feel than some other faux leathers, but hopefully that means it will last longer. Overall I'm happy with my purchase and these comfortable stools look great in my kitchen.
