Of 4 stools one came with a bent plate (part that attaches legs to chair bottom). This is probably because the boxes were very damaged. Overall chairs look great and are comfortable even if the seat depth feels a little shallow (I’m only 5’4” and noticed, but I think it is connected to the angle of the backrest so no super slouching), it leads me to keep my feet rested on the bar instead of dangle. I think the back support is appropriate and comfortable it doesn’t make you sit too straight. We ordered 4 and are ordering 2 more.
