The chairs are exactly as per ad. Chairs are extremely comfortable and appear to be of good quality for the price. Only complaint is that compared to other bar stools that I've previously purchased, assembly was a bit of a pain. The legs took several adjustments to finally level. Some of the screw holes for the cross braces were also a little off, I had to improvise with slightly bigger hardware to get a tight fit. Some of the washers and lock nuts were also missing. Overall though the chairs are great.
