Manufacture did a horrible job on the prescrewd holes. I had blisters on my hands trying to screw the nail threw the tight holes. Some didn't have holes to put the nails in. It took me about 1-2 hours to set it up and had to give up half way thru because my hands were in blisters..I'm really handy when it come to building thing but this stool was impossible to do on my own .I had to have my husband to finish the job. But despite with the troubles it is a beautiful stool. It's very durable there was no damage to it and I love it..
