I liked the look of this stool online.  The look of the pieces is true to the picture.  The big issue is there are no instructions or diagrams to put them together.  I'm pretty self sufficient but a diagram or instructions would have been very helpful.  I just emptied the box tonight which was not in very good shape.  When I opened the first flap on the box there was a nut between the flaps.  I retrieved the two bags that supposedly held all the hardware; they were tied shut and had no holes.  However one bag had one bolt in it and the other had what turned out to be I think all the nuts and bolts needed.  At the bottom of the box were spilled out nuts and bolts which when added to the one bolt was the same amount as the full bag. Hopefully they are all there and hopefully I can figure out how to assemble the stools.  Can you email me some instructions?  That would make this experience much better and maybe make me a return customer.
