These are good looking stools.  Sturdy steel constructed legs and a plastic seat.  I didn't find instructions in the box but this doesn't ever stop me from a challenge.  I got the four chairs built in a couple hours...yes, they do take time to build but they are solid.  One of the legs had a scuff on it and I'm sure it was done in the factory before they were shipped as each leg was bubble wrapped and there was no sign of damage to the shipping box.  Again, no instructions but easy to figure out where the screws go based on their quantities.  I have yet to sit in them but they do look comfortable!
