The stools arrived quickly and in excellent condition.  They were exactly as pcitured (a dark brown) and are very good quality and excellent value.  The cusions are sturdy and firm and they were not too difficult to assemble.  I only wish that they had some color variation on the metal to make them more distinctive but  I selected these so they would not show wear and woudl be very easy to care for.  Overall, an excellent purchase and manufactureer.
