The stools themselves are great. They are sturdy and look very nice. They are very hard to put together. The part where you screw the ring to the legs is impossible once you have two done even with all the screws VERY loosely tightened. The holes just don’t line up and there is no wiggle room. Easier to finesse it in from where the leg meets the stool after the ring is on. Try to have two people to put together-it’s much easier. Would buy again because they are very attractive and priced right but be forewarned about assembly.
