Great looking, once assembled. The screws supplied for assembly are pretty cheap. The heads stripped very easily. Also they are too long, by a smidgen but enough that they break through the wood! Found out the hard way on the first couple. Would recommend using your own 1 3/4 in screws. After that, should be smooth. Oh, and could the manufacturer place those annoying orange stickers somewhere less visible than lower leg of stool. Took a few extra minutes to remove each one so no residue remaining. Finally though, they look great. Ivory is a true gorgeous off white colour!
