The stools are very classy and elegant, exactly as pictured. Other reviewers have said the cushions appeared more yellow than in the photos, but I thought the pictures were representative. Stools were shipped quickly and arrived without damage. A little tricky to put together, but by the time I got to the 4th one I was a pro. :-) Took off one star because the floor protectors that are attached to the legs are not very good quality. I removed them and replaced with felt.  It was very tricky and time consuming to remove them from the legs because they are nailed in tightly.
