The barstools look nice and are very sturdy; however, we had an issue with 4 out of the 6 chairs we ordered. The connecting bottom bar on the LT side of the chairs were too short. We thought it was just going to be an issue with one chair, but as we continued to put the rest together, we saw that it was on a majority of them. My husband and his father were able to push the legs of the chair together using a large amount of force & use a drill to screw in the bar and minimize the amount of screw that is visible. The instruction manual is not detailed at all. It has no words or descriptions of the pieces, only pictures. The first chair took a little while to put together, but afterwards, the other 5 were relatively simple.
