Unfortunately, these bar stools are poorly constructed.   They arrived in large cardboard boxes that had obviously been carelessly handled with holes punched in them.  Inside the stools were wrapped in a spongey white material without any filler to keep them from moving around in the box.  One stool (of 3) has a broken back and all of them have rubs in the paint on every surface that could be rubbed!  The "ratan" seats are just woven pads glued onto the seats.  Also, they smell awful.  I would guess the paint wasn't cured when they were packed.  Although they appeared to match the chairs I already have, they don't and aren't nearly as good  quality.  They will have to be returned
