The color is true to the pictures, the upholstery and finish are exactly what I was looking for.  My husband put all 3 together in about an hour.  The only issue he had was on one stool 2 of the bolts were a bit too long, so he just added a few more washers he had on hand and fixed that.  They seem sturdy and high end.  Overall I love the stools and would purchase again.
