Love these stool. I waited a couple of months before reviewing so I could provide more than a basic review. First, assembly was fairly easy. I put these together myself, no second set of hands and it was easier than I expected. Follow the advice on the directions and don’t tighten the acres until the end. I am using these daily and they are very comfortable, I’m glad I got the stools with the back, I like that they swivel and as a short person (5’) have no trouble at all. These are replacing stools that would wobble when I got in and off, these don’t at all, they are very sturdy and look great. I would buy them again!
