We love the quality of the stools.  They came ready to stain and were easy to assembly.  All of our boxes (8 total) had shipping damage to them.  Initially we were afraid that we lost the nuts and bolts to assembly the stools, however since the parts bags were secured to the boxes we had everything. There was one stool that had one bolt hole that needed to be retreated but my husband, the handyman that he is, was able to take care of the issue.  I would recommend this stool.
