Free shipping was nice. Received via Fed-Ex within 7 days! Very easy to assemble, instructions very easy to read. Can be assembled by one person. We bought 4 stools, took me approximately 3 hours to assemble all four. We are very satisfied with these barstools, they look great around our kitchen island. Product was well packaged and product had no damage. Will definitely buy more items from Wayfair in the future, overall a good experience!!
