I am sitting on this stool while writing this review. We received our orders a while until I am ready to write this up. First of all, this has been a very great purchase for us. We use it daily and we enjoy how it compliments our decor in the house. The studs are marvelously nailed in with gaps (and not the cheap looking ones that interlock with one another). The color is exactly as portrayed in the picture. It arrived assembled, so, it was easy for us. And, it also came with fabric cover and white gloves. Professional looking packaging. Highly recommended!
