These stools are just what we wanted. They came 2 days earlier than expected.  The box was ripped in a few places.  All the hardware was scattered around the box.  The legs were missing the tags as to which was right and left., they were in the box not on the pieces. One of the tops had a small tear on the underside that I had to glue down so it wouldn't tear further. Many scratches on the wooden parts, one of them rock a bit as one of the legs is a tiny bit shorter.Once we figured out how to put them together it was fine. I do like how they look, they compliment our granite too. It would've been a hassle to send them back so we just dealt with them.
