Upholstery is more tan then depicted. Uncomfortable to sit in for prolonged periods of time. You get what you pay for, and I think that overall these are fairly well constructed for the price. We didn't want to spend a fortune on stools as we figured they would be the most used and therefore must often replaced pieces of furniture in our house. These were easily 1/3rd to 1/5th of the price of others were were looking at and we are satisfied with their function and appearance given the price.
