The stools are as described and a great value.  I needed a low profile stool to fit 4 under the kitchen counter in our newly remodeled home.  These worked great.  I was trying to coordinate with oil rubbed bronze finishes.  A few of the stools have a bit more of a gold finish showing through but overall that seems to blend in okay.  I tried to show it in the pictures but it is hard to see the comparison between the two stools.
