The table looks nice and is functional for what we need, however, the stools were more difficult to assemble that they should be and poorly thought through. The included screws, if fully inserted & tightened into their respective placement holes, will pierce through the other side of the wood on, causing surface cracks and a snagging hazard. Backing the screw out causes the bracing bar to become loose and pull away from the main support. I do not expect these stools to last long and will likely replace with better quality stools. This is very poor craftsmanship for a nearly $400 table.
