I would give these bar stools 5 stars had the assembly been easier AND the length of the seat a bit longer.

Caution on assembly- If you're a young woman who has no tool experience, DON'T EVEN. If you are slightly experienced it is still a hassle. Attaching the back to the seat takes forever. The underneath of the seat has screwed and glued bars blocking full rotational turn of the allen wrench. This means you have to turn half way, pull out the allen wrench turn half way etc. etc. etc. The rest of the assembly is a breeze. Also, the diagrams could be blown up a bit better for demonstration.

I did manage to get a splinter from the chair leg. I don't think this would be a problem for every day use. I think it was my fault in maneuvering the chair for assembly.
