We bought two of these barstools.  They were shipped in a timely fassion. My husband was able to put them together fairly quickly. They look as they appear in the picture. They are made with good quality materials. They are a good buy for the money. The only problem we have with them is that the back leans when you sit back against it. We are afraid it will become loose and break or could be a tipping hazard for our children. Otherwise, we are very pleased.
