These stools are exactly what they describe and the picture doesn't justify their beauty in person. They are very sturdy and heavy duty. Installation took about 3 minutes total for both stools. I got these to sit at my island counter top and the color matches it perfectly. The wood is very smooth and quite comfortable to sit on for it to be wood. I am 5'9 and sit perfectly well on them. The height of the stools come to my waste which is wonderful considering they are suppose to be counter top stools. All the tools came ready to assemble and loved how everything was in a cloth type of bag incase you have to move and dont want to loose peices the bag is good for storage. Shipping was great and once again I am a true Wayfair fan.
