We received four of these  last week and they were extremely easy to assemble. Only four screws needed per stool.   They complement our renovated kitchen tremendously. We now eat all our meals at the island. We like them so much we just ordered two more and can’t wait for them to arrive. Reading other reviews about their shipment arriving damaged, we did not have this issue. They were boxed extremely well.   They are lightweight, yet very sturdy.   Highly recommend this barstool!
