a few parts came damaged and "incorrect" in that there should already be holes in the bottom of the stool as noted in the assembly instructions but it doesn't have those holes. other reviewers mentioned a need to drill. as someone that doesn't own a drill, this is a bit frustrating. as well as other parts that are damaged (see photos). overall, quality seems sturdy but some parts could be better. the paint has either chipped or wasn't done comprehensively so you can see wood color coming through the stool
