These Stools look Fabulous !!! They are the Perfect High for the Kitchen… My husband put them together using the enclosed Tool, but then decided to use a drill, which was way Faster… Also with some help from a little Friend… who loves projects and covers the directions… Ha Ha… Took about an hour and a half because we purchased 4 Stools ( order of 2 ) We straddle the stools as per a review suggestion and they’re extremely comfortable … Everything we’ve ever ordered from Wayfair we’ve had no problems with… They’re support team is extremely helpful and Courteous… I’m very Satisfied with our purchase and Wayfair has the Best Deals in my Opinion - Order these while you can… They look Luxe in our Chefs Kitchen, where when people visit always hangs around, even tho we have an eating table… It is what it is, and I hear its common in most households… 
Thank you Wayfair!
