I purchased 2 of the Stone Medallion Bar Stools and I couldn't be happier! The base color of the chairs was darker than I had expected (more like the color of the Chunky Linen Rattan Stools or a dark taupe) however they look great and compliment my other furniture even better than I expected. Assembly was a little tedious but not incredibly complicated or extremely time consuming. I would say the first chair took about an hour to assemble (including getting all the pieces out, unwrapping them, etc.) and the second chair took maybe 30 minutes. Overall I'm very satisfied with this purchase and the chairs look much more expensive than what I actually paid for them.
