These bar stools are beautiful. They are exactly as pictured. He assembled them by himself with no problem. They are very heavy, which makes them hard to move, but they do swivel, making it easier to sit down. They are very comfortable and they look perfect with our cherry bar. The finish is chipped off one leg, I noticed yesterday while taking pictures. We haven't used them, yet since the house isn't completed, yet. I'm sure Wayfair will take care of the problem. Customer service has been excellent in the past. I have bought nearly a houseful from them!
