The stools are well constructed and assemble fairly easy. The only problem we have with them is the color. The person who selected the 'grey' is color blind. The wood is more a green-dark grey mix. We would have returned them. But fortunately they blended with our flooring which picked out the dark grey. So they are in kitchen serving us well. If you really want an antique grey stool, go with the antique white. It's a better match.
