The wholes for the legs did not line up and were a struggle to put together. I have put together many pieces of furniture, in fact, I put together 6 other chairs the same day I did these and out of the 8, these 2 bar stools were by far the most difficult. They are very stiff and not overly comfortable, but I got them as extra seating for my kitchen bar area so they are not going to be sat in for long periods of time. But other than that, they are exactly as pictured and very pretty. The perfect height for my countertop.
