Recently got 4 of these bar stools - the picture looks accurate but the craftsmanship leaves less to be desired. All of the plates where you mount the seat to the bases are crooked so all the seat are equally crooked. Since all the mounting plates were crooked, we thought it may be intentional but any way you mount the seat, you end up sitting at an awkward slant. Also, the foot rest is basically useless if you put the seat any higher than the minimum height, unless you over 6 ft tall.
