I purchased 4 of these stools to go with a stainless steel prep table that I also purchased from Wayfair. They arrived in 2 business days. Assembly was so simple. The directions were very easy; in fact the directions had no words. Just pictures. It took about 5 minutes per chair to assemble. No additional tools were needed to assemble. The chairs are sleek and modern like I wanted but also very sturdy. Hard to believe they were less than 40.00 each!
