I ordered 3 stools.  2 of them were perfect! On one of them, the holes didn't line up on the cross bar if everything was put together correctly.  I had to separate the legs a little extra in order to get the screw in.  (This is noticeable because there is a gab between the crossbar and the leg, which isn't there on any of the other legs.)  The same leg had a plastic foot on it that was cracked.  If shipping was free I probably would have asked them to send me a new part....

Other than that, the stools are beautiful and suprisingly comfortable.  They seem pretty stable.
