I ordered 4 of these stools. All came in separate boxes packed well. No damage to any of them. Each took about 30 minutes to put together. The first one was the most challenging. After that, it went easier. I like the color of the dark walnut wood frame. The fabric is a light beigh tone. I am cautiously optimistic about the squared off foot rest. I have a feeling the 90 degree corners of the foot rest will scuff when shoes are moved around on them. We will see. For the price, I am happy with them so far. Even my husband is pleased in spite of a few complaints while putting them together! I would recommend.
