3.5 Stars. I like the barstools. I was a little disappointed when I unwrapped the legs before assembly. There were a few chips in the lacquer finish. Also different from the picture and very odd. The front foot rest on the stools are a brassy gold color. My husband likes it but I really don't. The seats are firm and the backrests are mid height. The color is what we expected, light gray. The upholstery is nice.
