Actually we could have used 3 rather than 2 of the stools - pretty easy to assemble and the 2 came packaged in separate boxes - only one tool necessary and that's an allen wrench provided with each stool. The cushion color flows with our counter top  and the frame design flows with our other furnishings. The stools are elegant looking, sturdy and have received compliments from guests who find it hard to believe the cost. We are very satisfied with this purchase and give it the 5 stars in part for the on-time delivery promised by Wayfair.
