The stools are sturdy and solid, so construction is fantastic. Missing parts, only half the screws were included. The seats (selected chestnut) are much lighter and more honey that what is shown. If you're expected to get darker with a hint of red, this couldn't be farther from what shows up. Unfortunately it doesn't match my furniture, but I'll keep them and stain the seats because I do like the look. Last, I'm shocked these don't come with rubber or plastic guards for four spots on the "iron feet". No one has carpet in their kitchen, and these will scrape and tear up any other kind of flooring. Off to hunt down a creative way to soften the underside without it looking ugly...
