I ordered eight of these and they    came in no time at all.  I had two young men put them together for me.  After they figured out the first one they put all eight together in less than two hours.  My house is up for sale and it was being shown in a few day, and they made all the difference in the world in my thirteen ft. bar. The counter stools are so well made and solid, plus the price is so great.  I've checked other sites, and could not find anything I wanted or could afford.  I haven't decided yet about cushions for the seats because they look good without them and are comfortable .
