The chairs look really nice for our kitchen island however two of the chairs (ordered 4) we had to get a drill for since a dripping of metal fell on the inside of the holes in which you had to screw the pieces together and hardened so we used the drill to break the hardened metal off and away from the hole to screw the piece together and not strip the screw. we also had to spend a bit of time tightening and loosening the screws since they don't hit an end in order to make the stools not wobble.
