Love the stools. They look great. The reason for only 4 stars is that the ring around the bottom (footrest) is particular as to how it fits on. The ring has 2 sides and one side has small manufacturing holes in it and should be placed facing down so as not to be seen when chair is complete (which is not explained in the directions-but is evident).  2 chairs could be completed in that way, but 2 could not be completed as such as the holes drilled were at such an angle that they prevent to screws from engaging.  I believe that all the holes are drilled at a certain angle to allow proper alignment to the screws. We just happened to get 2 rings manufactured by someone having a difficult time paying attention to their job that day.  Big deal, no.....as once we realized it just wouldn’t work one way we tried the other and had success.  Did I mention that the stools look GREAT and are very comfy. Swivel is easy and seat is well padded. My first purchase with Wayfair.
