I typically need help with anything like this that needs to be assembled. I have physical restrictions but was determined to get these put together. I laid out the bolts, looked at the diagram and went to work! An hour later, I had 2 barstools. They are sturdy and comfy. The cushions are grey, not a light or baby grey...more of a grey with a brown undertone. Blends wonderfully with the white and grey walls and grey wood floor. The frames are black. In the box of 2 stools you get 2 main frames for each stool, 4 support bars for each, as well as the upholstered cushions. You also get 2 packages, each with 12 smaller bolts, 6 longer bolts for the cushion attachment and an Allen wrench. So worth the cost!!!!
