I ordered 3 of 26.5"-stools  but I got 2 set of stools with different heights. I think 2 are 26.5" and the other one is probably 30". The assembly was easy - I could put the seat pads on for 2 stools. However, for one of the stools; it seemed one of the holes (out of 3) was out of place not properly aligned with the rest, and only 2 screws can be put in.
