The stool is just what we expected - beautiful color and very sturdy. When we first received the stools, we had been sent the wrong color cross pieces.  Wayfair was great about correcting  the problem as soon as we notified them.  The stool is very sturdy and a good value. We would have paid that price for one stool,so to get the second stool was a bonus!  We had been looking for a stool  like this for our mudroom and were delighted when we found it on Wayfair.
