I bought 4 stools, some hardware was missing.  It could of been because the boxes were damaged not enough to complain about but some of the finish was bruised.  Alignment of the hole for assembly needed to be worked for it to fit together.  The arm rest and the top of the legs banged together when you spun them.  I was replacing stools that didn't match my new decor.  the old stool cost half as much and were of much better quality.  I thought of sending the new one back and try staining the old ones to match, but decided not to.  the furniture that I purchase from wayside has been of low quality.
