I purchased two bar stools and had both put together in less than five minutes. The maroon is true to color and was exactly what I was looking for.  This stool's higher weight limit can accommodate most adults and that was an important factor in my purchasing them.  The seat is a little small so after sitting for a while it does get uncomfortable.  Overall, I am very please with the purchase and the price could not be matched anywhere else for the same stool.
