I received these patio stools fairly quickly. They are of great quality and very simple to put together. I ordered the dark wood option. They didn't look as dark as I thought they would be, but I am happy with the stain shade.  These chairs are real wood and look great. The instructions stated you would need a screw driver, but I never needed one since it comes with an allen wrench. The screws are very long and using the enclosed tool will take a while. If you have a drill bit for this, it will take a lot less time to put together. The cushions are bright cream and suitable for a patio. They are not very thick. I'm nervous for them to get dirty so I plan to cover them for protection. Overall, I'm really happy with this purchase.
