We ordered 3 of these counter height bar stools in a tan color. They shipped in one double box each and required assembly with an included Allen wrench - pretty easy to do. 
The chairs seem very sturdy and the swivel mechanism is solid and turns fluidly. 
The material on the chairs is textured - which is difficult to tell from the photograph. The chair back and bottom are generously proportioned - like a bucket seat. 
Only ding  on the rating is that after assembling there is some minor wobble due to imbalance in the legs. You would not notice this if you were placing this on carpet, but would notice if they are going on hard wood or tile. I suppose you can get some felt for the bottom of the legs to correct this. We love them!
