I just love love the look of these bar stools. As someone who is a huge fan of gold accents, I fell in love with these chairs as soon as I saw them both online and in person. I assembled myself in about 1-2 hrs. The directions are easy to read and straight forward, although making sure all the screws fit tightly were a bit of a challenge. Nonetheless it is doable if you are able to read instructions. The chairs are a great statement bar stool and gives a wonderful pop of gold to your decor. Please note that the backs of chairs come a little above your mid back, so don't expect a chair back that comes all the way up to your shoulders. I wish it came up a bit higher, but the chairs are so cute, i didn't even care.
