What a great counter stool!  I ordered the gray, which is light gray with darker gray leaf/feather print.  The wood is a medium oak brown, not as dark as the photo and not a nasty red stain.  The seat is well padded.  It took me 45 minutes to assemble. It was a little wobbly on my ceramic floor due to leg rubber stoppers not pounded in far enough...a tweak with a rubber mallet lined them up perfectly.
