These stools are great!  Heavier than I expected but that's a good thing. They will go on our new grill bar outside and the weight will ensure they don't move around or slip out from under someone.  Assembly wasn't bad.  Much better with 2 people - 1 holding places in place while 2nd one operated drill. Maybe an hour to put all 4 together.  1st one  took a little longer and next 3 went pretty quickly.  They've been outside now for a month or so in sun and rain and only thing I've noticed is some dust/dirt where folks put their feet and I expect that should rinse off easily with a hose.  Think these will last for years to come. Very happy with them.
