These bar stools arrived on time.  I chose the black color but the color is more of a dark gray.  The stitching is orange which is okay.  However, the zig-zag thread of the stitching is a bit much for my tastes.   It took me about 45 minutes to put these together and they seem very sturdy.  Some other reviewers mentioned a chemical-like smell on the actual seat backs which is true.  However, I'm sure it will go away eventually.  A good deal for the prices.  Would I buy again?  Probably but in a different color.
