Gorgeous stools. Hard to tell in the photos but I purchased the dark brown cushions. They're very comfortale and fit perfectly underneath my counter height island. A bit finicky to assemble - just be sure to not fully tighten any of the screws until all pieces (pre-assembled seat w/back,+foot rest+two leg pairs) are all loosely assembled. Don't even fully finger tighten anything. Once everything is attached but still wiggly then you can tighten everything down. There does seem to still be some slight off-gassing from being packaged but it has diminished over time. Definitely recommend these stools. I love them!
