Great product for the price. Super easy to assemble. Nice stool for the price. Very chic, compliments my stainless steel kitchen decor wonderfully.. Looks just like the pic. The "metal flake" painted surface is awesome & will probably make it more resistant to scratches than  other surfaces. It holds all 200 lbs of me very well.  I purchased (2) sets which fit well @ my kitchen peninsula. These stools are the most comfortable the small hard seats not withstanding than all the others that I tried. LOVE 'EM
