These stools are very beautiful. They are true to the picture. They are also very comfortable, and a great size. Well packaged and easy assembly with a screwdriver. The holes were not wide enough to push the pieces together, so like others I used a pairing knife to widen it. One of the legs was shorter, which made the stool rock  unevenly. However, when I tightened the screws the problem was pretty well resolved. The wood is soft, so be careful. The seats mold when sat on, but fluff back up in no time.  Lots of compliments!
