I just received these stools and they arrived on time. However the box look like it was through a war zone and one of the stools was damaged.  If not for the damage I would rate these four stars.  They do look pretty much exactly as depicted on the web site.  The wood is not a solid hard wood, more like a compressed wood with a painted finish.  Don't let that scare you as they're pretty sturdy but whoever packed these did a poor job.
