The stools were exactly as shown.   I bought  4 and have assembled 3;  so far all pieces have been in the package.  They came well packaged and had no blemishes.  They did not take much time to assemble by myself.
The color was true to the photo.   They are very comfortable and the extra height is perfect for a short person to reach the counter.  They are well made and very sturdy.  Very happy with the stools and the price.
