Paint had been rubbed off on spots of metal and one seat had circular scratches on top you can see when in the right lighting.  A little noisy to pull across the floor to sit down, better to lift to move.  Overall, not a great quality, but I guess not horrible for $50 a stool.  Wish we would have got a better one, but once here and assembled one decided just to keep because of the hassle of returning.  They don't look fairly nice, most of the flaws are not overly noticable due to the style of the stool anyways.  Legs have a destressed painted look, which you cannot easily tell from the picture.
