I am really happy with the finished product. The seats aren't as bulky as they seem in the pics.

I love building furniture, but this is the most difficult build I've experienced. It has simple instructions, but the screwing the seat onto the base took forever. The Allen wrench seemed too big to fit into the tiny space I had to screw in the screws. My fingers were scratched up and sore by the time I was finished. I still love the final product. Just be aware that it takes some effort!
