This is a very nice counter stool, that looks exactly like the photo.  They ask for a photo, but seriously, it's exactly like the photo on the site. The seat itself is a little on the tight side, so if you are a little larger down there, you might not fit into them.  Full swivel which I like, with no stopping point.  Assembly wasn't that hard, and they seem quite sturdy.  I would have given a full 5 starts, but there was an excess of powder paint that got into the mortise of the lower part of the legs that needed to be scraped out with a utility knife to get the circular foot rest in place.  But be careful not to over scrape because you risk removing the black paint from a visible part of the leg.  Other than that, quite happy with my 5.
