First of all, the counter stools are beautiful. However, I found the quality to be less than what I expected. This was evident in the way the pieces did not fit together well. One of the stools is wobbly because the leg screw holes were not drilled at the same height. I fixed by placing a couple of felt pads underneath the short leg, but still a bit disappointing. You’ll need an electric drill to screw in the seat and chair back. Again, they are beautiful, just wish they were of higher quality.
