These are great chairs once put together. Perfect height for the counter. HOWEVER, not easy to put together. You have to make sure the correct pieces are with each stool, in the correct position and facing the right way. Even then you don't know until you have them both assembled. Don't tighten until you have both chairs assembled. And one chair is missing the female screw assembly so I will be contacting wayfair. But, with that said, the are nice and sturdy when put together. I ordered two sets, so the three completed chairs look and feel good.
