These bar stools are my favorite seats in the house! They're the first place everyone goes in the morning for cereal or coffee at the counter, or for after-school chats.  As everyone said, they came fully assembled!  Just had to open the box and pull them out of the bags.  No scratches or defects for me to note.
My only disappointment is the color.  Even though it does say a dark walnut color, I was really hoping that they would be as pictured on the website--more like an espresso color, like the rest of my kitchen furniture.  They are more brownish as the other reviews and photos show.  Even so, I like these stools so much, I really don't even think about the mix-matched colors in my kitchen.  I suppose I can always get a stain or spray paint them if I really wanted to.
Great buy for bars and counter-top seating!
