Looked exactly as pictured and very comfortable and sturdy. Assembly was a pain though. The instructions and drawings were clear, but the parts weren't marked, and the fasteners provided were very poor quality. It took some wrestling to get the parts in position to insert the screws and I was very lucky not to strip any screws.  Overall it's a good set for the price, but allow 2-3 hours for assembly, more if you don't have a drill with metric hex bits (I did and it was a life saver - it would take all night with the allen wrenches provided - 5mm I think).
