The product I bought was very well made, and the color is true to the picture. There was a problem with one box, but it was obvious that it was not the shippers fault. It was the fault of someone on the assembly line who packed broken pieces. This may sound like a negative comment, but not. The barstools were replaced THE NEXT DAY. I can hardly believe they were able to do that. Products manufactured in another country can be shipped in any condition, but when the distributor goes out of their way to make it right, then there is no reason not to buy from them. They got five stars from me.
