The bar stools are visually very appealing, great look to them.   The instructions are easy and contains all the parts to put them together which is nice.  I read other reviews where people had the same issue but figured it was how they put them together but purchased anyways.  There's either a production or design issue because some assemble perfectly well while others are wobbly and don't sit flat.  3/6 assembled "well", regardless of the method trying to assemble them.  

As more of an FYI, the seat height is accurate but it's a bucket seat so if you sit back in the seat, you will sit lower than the seat height.
