Assembly was easy on three of the four chairs I bought.  One was not made correctly and required some mild modification.  When finished, Stools look good and are sturdy, however I did use wood glue in addition to the regular assembly methods.

Update...they're a few years old now and they are still great!  I do think the addition of using glue made these very solid.



Pros: Good looking and easy to put together mostly
Cons: Beware, the overall dimensions (depth) is not correct.  They are more like 21-22 inches when assembled.  The seat is 17.75 deep.  I would say they have the dimensions reversed.
