This stool is the good and the bad. The good - it is nice looking stool and works quite well. We enjoy having the arm rests. The bad- putting them together is a nightmare! My husband makes furniture so he is very skilled with tools. These stools were a struggle. The screws are inserted into the parts with the receiving end of the screw completely blocked so you have to try and try to get the screw aimed perfectly. And there were a few places where the screw holes were not well lined up and we had to adjust and tweek the parts till the screws and the holes lined up. Each stool (we ordered 2 stools) took over 2 hours per stool. They look great now that they are put together but it was challenging for sure!

The chairs are very sturdy and comfortable!! They are not easy to assemble and we had small parts missing in some and the wooden plugs were almost useless. We have made our own. We are glad we have them but very happy that we don't have any more to put together:).
