I ordered 4 of these stools, which are fairly easy to put together but a little time consuming. After I ordered them I saw them on a popular HGTV remodeling show. While the stools look great and add some glamour to the kitchen, after having them for a couple of months you can really see the wear on them, especially since we use them daily and I have teenagers. Update it’s been less than a year and I can no longer recommend these stools as they completely fell apart when A friend sat on one…the parts I personally had to put them together were fine but the welds literally did not hold!!!
