These are pretty from a far, but not perfect. I got very very lucky that the biggest discoloration of the (stain Or pattern I’m honestly not sure how these were made) was on the bottom of the stool. But, the discoloration is an awful highlighter yellow. Overall, not the best quality and yeah I’m a little disappointed, but gives the look I want for my kitchen and is reasonably comfortable. Should be better for the price I paid.
