The parts were all there and eveything fit together perfectly.  The color was not a problem because although most of the comments were how they were more brown  -  mine seemed to be more gray..  They are beautiful and such a good buy.  I am a 69 year old woman and with the use of my husbands good screw driver, I put the 6 stools together by myself!!!  I am very pleased with the product and the service!!
