These stools are exactly as pictured in terms of the color of the wood and seat. They fit perfectly under the overhanging edge of my counter.  We have received many compliments about their look.  I purchased six and they arrived very quickly and in good condition.  One of the boxes was missing pieces and the Wayfair website was so easy to use to request replacement parts.  Customer service representatives were quick to follow-up and order parts.  They are scheduled to arrive this week.  I couldn't be happier with my purchase.  I will definitely purchase from Wayfair again.
