The stools are very well made. Solid wood. Directions are a little unclear, however once I did the first one, the rest were easy. I was a little disappointed because thought they were a set of two. The purchase is for ONE stool. Picture was misleading. After reviewing description again, it does state ONE stool, but they shouldn’t have two on the picture when most products are set of two. Appears they will hold up and they are comfortable. Ordered some pads for the seats as well. They look nice.
