Although these stools are really nice looking, I doubt they will last long. They were very difficult to assemble and the instructions are hard to understand. The back bottom support is supposed to lock into the legs, and then screwed in. They would not stay in, so we tried glueing them and then tightening them with rope. Over a few weeks, they have come apart again slightly. Not sure what to do about this. Unless you have a good handyman in the house, don’t get these stools.
