Dismal build quality but aesthetically pleasing.  Assembly was extraordinarily cumbersome, as over half of the pre-drilled holes for the seat to be inserted into the frame were misaligned.  Additionally, the front half of both seats would not line up flush, so each stool only had two screws (the back) out of the four, respectively.  Would not recommend.  This item would have been returned if not for the logistical considerations of re-packaging such a large item.
