We order 3 stools and loved them.  Very comfortable, good looking and made with excellent craftsmanship.  They came fully assembled.  They we such a hit at Sunday dinners we ordered 3 more.  The second set came un-assembled and required 10 minutes labor for each. We had looked at local stores (Raleigh NC) and could not find anything like it -- even if we wanted to spend 3 or 4 times as much.
