These stools came as described, and were relatively easy to put together once you got all the shrink wrap off. My only problem is that I have had them for five months now, and the fabric is scratched already. I was initially concerned about the vinyl, and I should have listened to my instincts but I liked the look of the chair. I would say if you are very careful with your furniture, and don't wear jeans you should be fine with these chairs. 

Pros: Sharp look. 
Cons: Fabric scratches easily.
