Assembled, these stools are only 23" tall.  The photo is deceptive.  The portion of the legs above the ring is actually shorter than the portion below the ring! You will need both hands and at least one foot to get the bolts through the ring and legs. Can't argue with the price.  Guess I will just have to "sit up straighter" like my mother always told me.    

Pros: Good value.
Cons: Have all your tools ready.  A power driver is very helpful.
