After trying MANY products from higher end retailers this stool is the best buy for the money.  The pricing is lower end but the stool is an above average quality.  The seat across the front measures 16  1/2/" not 19" as stated in the product description.  This worked in my favor so no complaints there.  The color is a true "Cream" color not yellowish but definitely the color of vanilla ice-cream.  The one thing that I have noticed in all six stools is that one of the screws is too long for the rush seat and sticks up so you see it from the side :( but it doesn't come up through the rushing. I still think they look and perform great!
