met our expectation, the deep red (wine) color was perfect for the retro look we wanted.  The stools are sturdy, swivel properly and seem to be a quality product.  Easy to wipe clean, The seat diameter is slightly bigger than I anticipated (not a negative) (approx 15"), so it is very comfortable, the metal tubular foot rest is about 16/17" in diameter.  We  bought the 24" high and they are just the right size for the kitchen island and great for both children and adults to sit on, our grand-children had no trouble getting on and off of them.  We hope that they will last.
