arrived in a timely manner --- well packaged. overall very straight forward to assemble. bought 3 stools and about 35 - 45 minutes to put together. all holes except 1 lined up well ---- and sturdiness of stools appears to be good.  color is as advertised/in photos and wood is nicely finished. faux leather seats are nice, time will tell how they stand up. really don't expect daily use so hopeful will not crack over longer term.
