Purchased 2 sets of these stools in black and generally pleased as they were what we were looking for. The reason for 3 stars is because of some difficulty in assembling (specifically with regards to the tightening of screws) which meant that we have 2 stools that rotate all the way and 2 that only go half way. It would have been more of a pain to disassemble and return or exchange since we wouldn’t know if the new ones would have the same issue. So, for the price and the look and the fact that they serve their purpose in our home, we decided to keep them.
