This stool looks great and works well, but it was very difficult to put together.  You will need a drill and some patience.  There were no pre-drilled holes to attach the bottom two steps to the base.  The bottom steps are also held together and spaced apart by two dowels.  These dowels were of two different lengths.  I had to have Wayfair send me another stool for replacement parts.  Between the two stools, I was able to construct one functional stool.
