We bought four. The stools are a little darker than depicted and they are tall.  Once put together, though, they look great and are the right size for a normal countertop/bar.  The finish is fragile, so be careful: when I assembled the first stool the seat got some significant scratches from placing it upside down on our wood floor.  I put the last three on top of the foam wrapping they were shipped in, and they were fine.  Overall, a very very good buy.
