The only positive for these stools is that they look great. However, assembly is very difficult and can not be done without battery tools. None of the "pilot" holes for assembly were lined up. We bought 2 sets and 1 stool in a set had the wood split where they holes were drilled. So, after much effort, time and additional tools we now have 3 usable stools. We will see if Joss & Main remedy this issue.
