In general, the stools were easy to assemble.  But one of the hole locations was misaligned, so I wasn't able to install one of the bolts.  Fortunately, each of the connections are designed with two bolts to  fasten each connection.  I secured the one connection with a misaligned hole with one bolt.  I discovered that one bolt is sufficient to firmly fasten that connection.  The stool cushions with the faux suede are very comfortable.  Though, I wish Wayfair had an option to purchase this stool as a set of 3.  Overall, I am very happy these stools.
