I'm super specific about wood color tone and was paranoid that these wouldn't be perfect but they are! The material is nice for the price and it's kind of a smooth but textured wood feeling. Assembly was pretty easy and I realized you could technically drop about two inches off of the height if you needed to since you could skip putting on the little separator/handle piece. Moving into my apartment next month and I know these will look great at the kitchen island!

EDIT - I have only had these for about two months and everyone who has sat on them is less than 200lbs... one of the stool's seat pieces just broke off of the base and is not re-attachable so.... yikes.
