Ordered two of these back in September; the first one came promptly and the second one came about a week or two later.  I was worried about color matching between the two but they're identical.  They're sturdy built and the (very) dark brown faux leather looks real; there's even a faint patterning like you'd find on real leather.  No need for felt pads on the legs as the stool has plastic nubs to ensure my wood floor isn't scratched.  I think these were well worth the money.
