I had never put together a chair before. The instructions were misleading. The holes to put screws through are either not large enough, not lined up or non existent. I was able to get one chair together and that took all day. The other chair has no holes drilled and is a disaster. You shouldn’t have to drill holes in furniture that is supposed to be ready to assemble. In addition, I had to purchase an electric screwdriver because you cannot tighten these screws by hand. The one chair is pretty, but I would not recommend this to anyone who is unfamiliar with the “workarounds” necessary to get these barstools together. Very disappointed and only one barstool can be assembled.
