I received 2 of these bar stools and I'm really enjoying them.  They are very sturdy and look great.  My husband put them together and everything went great until he got to the last bolt to hook the top to the bottom.  There is limited space to put the bolt in and on both of the stools he ended up having to find another bolt that would work.  On one of them the original bolt stripped out.  He was a able to get them to work but now when you swivel the stool you feel a bump where the bolt just doesn't fit correctly.  There were also some small places on the wood that I needed to use a scratch cover up but all in all the stools are great and are well worth the cost.
