The stools look fine now that we finally got them put together. The assembly instructions were very confusing. Tip: put all the legs in first with the bolts just barely screwed in. Then put in the cross pieces and tighten everything up. If the bolts are not seated perfectly they will not go in. 
There were several knicks in the wood that needed cosmetic repair. The seats are not that comfortable but will do as we got them to use as additional seats and not as our main counter stools. Overall pretty disappointed in the quality of this product.
