These are beautiful stools. The box actually came with white gloves on top to put them together. For those people that are visual, they can scan the card and watch a video for how to assemble.  Assembly was super easy. It only took a few minutes for each chair. They were packaged really well with foam paper wrapped on anything that could get scratched. The gloves made it super clean and kept me from getting fingerprints all over the chrome. The chairs feel very solid and the lift mechanism works well. I have animals and noticed how animal hair immediately fell on the chrome, but that’s okay. The seat is comfortable and the chair feels strong. Overall a great choice!
