These stools look great, and are very solid.  HOWEVER....I ordered two, and on one of them there were not three holes that were not even drilled.  On the other, the holes were drilled at either bad angles or totally in the wrong place.  Everything fit together fine, but assembly required re-drilling holes with an extra long drill bit.  Thankfully I am handy, and had the tools to do this, but I would not recommend this stool to anyone without a drill.  Once assembled they look great, and are solid.  I just think the factory could be more careful with the drilling.  Otherwise I would have given them a 5 star rating.
