These look exactly as they did in the picture.  They are very light weight, so when my 4 year old gets out of it from the side, they tent to tip with him.  Other than that, they feel very sturdy for everyone else in the family and I love how they look.  I bought the red ones, since I have a lot of red accents in my kitchen.  They were very easy to assemble, although as with another previous reviewer, I did also find that the screws for the seat are a little short and the seat isn't screwed tightly to the seat in the back.  I think I'll get some longer screws, like that person did.
