The stools are beautiful and look great at our kitchen island.  We bought 4 of them and they were pretty easy to assemble, although you do need 2 people to do it efficiently.  One person needs to hold the back and seat cushions together so all bolts and screws can be tightened by the second person.
Whoever packed one of the stools had dirty hands and left a large black thumbprint on the seat.  However, I was able to remove it by some gentle scrubbing.  One of the seats has more padding than the others and is a little higher, but that should resolve itself with usage.
The photo of the stools on your site is inaccurate.  Both the back and seat of the stools are tufted.  The photo shows a tufted back only.
Overall, very satisfied with our purchase.
