After reading the reviews I decided to give these stools a chance because they seemed to be what I was looking for. Well the first one went together fairly easy but the others were not so easy. Like others said the holes just didn’t line up. After a few frustrating hours we were finally able to make it work. One of the chairs is pretty wobbly & one isn’t exactly the same size as the others but they do look nice. Overall like most everyone I am happy with them. Don’t know if my husband will let me purchase chairs online again tho!
