These were a great addition.  They come in two pieces (top and bottom) and are held in place by four sturdy screws - very easy to assemble.  The colour is more brass than gold, but pretty close to the picture. I was surprised at how comfortable they are to sit in - you don't need a cushion. Very stylish, and perfect height for use at a kitchen counter.  The only negative (and it isn't worth knocking off a star) is that there is sticker wrapped around one of the supports on the base that is nearly impossible to remove.  If you try to use a knife you will scratch the finish.  I soaked paper towel in goo-gone and wrapped it around the support/sticker and waited for half an hour. The sticker peeled off easily.
