Exactly as pictured. My instinct was to order the brown seats, but after reading other reviews and viewing user-submitted images I went with four of the white stools and am happy with that decision. These will be the perfect contrast in my gray and brown kitchen. The one-piece frame is surprisingly sturdy and the clean lines and overall design can not be beat for the price. I was looking at really low-priced discount stores in my hunt for counter-height stools and couldn't find anything appealing OR near this price point. A definite rare find and a purchase with excellent value. I haven't had the opportunity to sit on them that much to gauge the comfort level, but I think with time the seats will soften up, and in the meantime the overall look is worth it.
