There are so many things I love about these stools. First of all, there was ZERO assembly. I took them out of the box this way. You can adjust the feet so they don't wobble. Two of the adjustable plastic feet were smashed in transit but each stool came with several extras. I love the look of the wood and the design. These are very sturdy. I do not worry about them toppling over on my 2-year-old as she tries to move or climb them. I wanted a stool without a back because I don't like the false security kids have when they sit on a seat with a back. My daughters do not try to stand on these because they don't have a back, so if you are looking for good stools for kids, these will amaze you. They are also slightly wider than you would think a bar stool would be. Very comfortable.
