If you lack experience putting together furniture, you will have a difficult time figuring out and following the instructions. Follow the steps in order. Hand tighten ALL screws before you tighten using the supplied Allen wrenches (they do the job). The connections are threaded, so you'll know when the screws are in correctly. There shouldn't be any wobble in the finished stool. All 4 legs should rest on the floor. The second stool will go together more quickly than the first, and so on. One other suggestion: count and separate the supplied screws, lock washers and washers. Even better, put the proper lock washer and washer on each screw so you don't lose any pieces. There are no extras included.

Pros: The finished stool.
Cons: The supplied instructions.
