I bought two of these stools for under a console table in our family room. They were fairly easy to put together. All parts were complete, and the holes lined up well (note, it worked better to put all screws in very loosely for the legs and foot rest, and then tighten them one at a time, otherwise, the holes didn't line up easily). Like that these stools have levelers under the feet, so it sits flat on the floor. I also use them for extra kitchen chairs for our counter height table if the kids have a friend over for dinner. Once put together, the stools feel solid. I wish the seats were real wood and would have gladly paid more for that, but couldn't find that option with this style anywhere. Overall, very happy.
