I am super pleased with my new bar stools. They are exactly as pictured, and arrived in perfect shape. They are the easiest things to put together. Only wishing I could buy a single barstool. I thought I could only got 3 around my island, but there is plenty of room for 4 or possibly even 5. Very satisfied with this purchase. Now that I have the stools, I am painting the island a more complimentary gray.
