Needed one more stool to match the existing three that I have and this works just fine matches perfectly thank you

Nothing is complicated about the design or the assembly of these stools.... until you begin inserting and tightening the screws with the provided, slightly undersized allen wrench. The pre-drilled holes in the wood are a tight fit which would be good IF the metal screws could be tightened without stripping the hex holes. Once a screw hex has stripped, which happens fast due to the soft metal, you'll need a screw extractor kit or settle for a wobbly stool. I needed to bore out all the pre-drilled holes in order to be able to tighten without stripping.

These are pretty, fairly durable, lightweight enough to easily move from room to room if needed, and easy to assemble. The dip in the seat adds to the comfort but I wouldn't want to sit in them for a prolonged amount of time (more than an hour or so probably).

I'm in a new house and needed a small island with a couple of stools - and at $40 each, these fit the bill.I'm a 72 yo woman, reasonably handy but inclined to put the first piece of anything I'm assembling upside down and backwards. This time was no exception, so after backing up and starting over - and keeping the actual picture of what it's supposed to look like in front of me, I found it mostly easy. Here are my tips: Watch the pieces with red dots and where they go - critical pay attention to the cross pieces and whether they have an angle on the end - that defines top and bottom edges. the biggest pain are the legs where they attach. Because you're working with a blasted Allen wrench in the interior of the seat bottom, you will only have about 80 degrees to move the wrench. So it's insert, twist a bit, take it out, reinsert it, twist a bit- really tiresome. I have a mini drill with a hex driver - only 4.8v, so with this soft wood that was perfect. I'd be really cautious with a 12v drill if that's what you have. But in either case, because you are holding a leg in a corner and starting the screw right is critical, I'd go the first few and last few turns manually with the Allen wrench to have a better feel that it's seated correctly and snug but not too tight. don't do final tightening until its all together the screw caps are going to fall out if you don't put a dollop of wood glue on and use a rubber hammer or, as I did, a washcloth between the wood and hammer.Both of mine have minor finish mars on the seat top. Goodness knows not enough to send it back and have to go through this again :). I've attached pics. I'm not young enough to expect perfection in a $40 stool, and it's not worse than a grandkid is likely to cause. :)Hope that's helpful! When all is said and done, these are sturdy, look good enough, and have enough height to eat comfortably on a 36” counter-height island.

Two pieces that were to fit and separate between legs in assembly process were very obviously measured incorrectly. So because they were not possible to insert between the legs have to cover the stool to hide this obvious error.

I actually needed these for use at a computer that is too high for children, but nothing I could do about that. I needed seating for kindergarten students. Adult chairs had them sitting in their feet and student chairs had them at the wrong height. My husband actually cut a little off the legs to make them work perfectly. I don't worry about the students tipping them over. They're solid.

I needed a stool to sit on, while I'm in my kitchen cooking dinner for my family .

Bought them for the price expecting to replace them some time in the future.....not now! We love them so much we bought a third one.

Great Stool for the money

Use WD-40 on screws and holes. The screws easily strip - very easily !! I wish they were normal screws - Phillips or straight screw drivers and not the L wrench type. pay attention to the angled insert too. FOr the price, they are very nice... just the screws getting stripped is a huge issue.

Great stool for under the counter. The little circle knobs to cover the holes fall out literally all the time. The black scratches pretty easy so the gloss paint wears off but easy for an apartment and would recommend for the price

Muy bonita y cmoda la recomiendo

Assembly wasn't too bad. Seems like solid wood and a sturdy seat. I love no backs so we can easily sit without moving the stool. Comfortable for the adults and kids.

Very happy with the product. Not too hard to assemble and it is sturdy.

Was easy to assemble and sturdy. I like it because it is the perfect height for me when at my work bench.

Nice price for a very sturdy, pretty stool.Use in bathroom for applying makeup and counter space and matches cabinets perfectly!Love it!!

Ignore negative reviews!

Easy to put together. Customer service is phenomenal. They are better quality than you would expect for the price! The wood has already chipped on ours and we haven't had them very long but that's to be expected. Overall I would recommend to anyone on a budget that wants nice bar stools.

This stool is very sturdy and very nice looking. I didn't have much difficulty putting it together (83 yo female). I did use a ratcheting star bit screwdriver to finish getting the screws in. It is hard wood. I would recommend this stool. My husband can't stand up very long and it works fine at the bathroom counter for him to brush his teeth and shave.
