very nice workmanship and went together well.  Only problem was that I was missing a screw and the package did not contain any directions on assembly.  Putting it together really wasn't hard but the "up or down/back or front" directions would have been nice.  I did have to remove and redo several pieces before I got it right.  Still haven't obtained a replacement screw but the stool is standing and did not collapse without one when I did a test sit on it.
