I love the way these stools look. But I would highly suggest using different screws. I was tightening the screws and three out of eight screws snapped. I want the connection to be super tight so I had to really tighten them. I had to rip apart the snapped screws connections and replace them with better screws that I was able to tighten really good. I also put some wood glue into the holes to help with long term durability. I can't believe they would give you such cheap screws and expect them to hold the stools together over time. For your own sake please go buy different screws. Don't even attempt to use the ones that come in this pack. After all that headache, I love these stools and I expect mine will last much longer than ones that were assembled with the supplied screws.
