Ordered two in natural. They arrived fully assembled. The quality and look are amazing. Very sturdy yet lightweight. I decided on this particular stool in order to bring some texture into a room. After they arrived I had wished I had chose the brown, but now that I have moved into a new home with a very light kitchen, the natural colored stools look great under the kitchen bar area. One small worry is the seat material is very light in color (almost white) and if there is a spill it may stain. I read the cushion is not removable so maybe consider a fabric protector.  Very happy!
