These stools were exactly what we hoped and look great! Assembly was fairly quick and easy, but as mentioned in other reviews, the screws provided to secure the side rails are too long (and will poke out the other side of the leg) and we needed to go out and purchase smaller 1" screws (we purchased black screws to better blend in with the black finish).  Other than this hiccup, these were well packaged and are great stools!
