Bought the chairs for our Acacia wood bar. We fit about 3 of these stools on our 72 inch bar but ordered 4 so the bartender could sit. The stools come all ready to use! No construction just open them up. They are well made and sturdy and love that you can fold them up for the winter for storage. They were packaged really well, no damage. I am very pleased with my purchase. Wayfair has a new fan. This was my first purchase from them.
