The basic stool frame is fine but fastening the seats to the stool is a bit "hoky". There are no pre-drilled holes in the bottom of the seat cushion and the screws are a bit small. I purchased three stools for my bar and one of them the screws would not hold, so I now need to find a way to attach the stool seat (bore out the screw hole bigger and use larger screw...). The second stool only two of three screws stayed intact. The third still was fine, but I am concerned about how long the seat will stay attached to the frame.
