Our stools arrived early which was great. The assembly instructions were a little unclear. Both seat and wood colors were true to pictures. There was a wobble of one stool due to a leg being too short. (We're in the process of figuring out a fix for it vs. contacting customer service.) As noted by other reviewers, seat cushions weren't tucked tightly so not sure how long-lasting they'll be. Otherwise, nice contemporary design and seemed comfortable while trying the stools out.
