This was my first purchase from Joss and Main.  I ordered 3 stools.  They were delivered in 2 boxes that were very well packaged. Each base of the stool was wrapped in a protective covering. They were not difficult to put together with the included allen wrench.  The base of the stool also has pads on the bottom that easily lets the stool slide on my ceramic floor. They are perfect for my kitchen.  The seat is comfortable and sized fine for our family.
