These stools arrived much later than expected which is the only complaint.  I was so eager to have these in my home.  I put them together fairly quickly and as long as I did not tighten anything until the very end, they went together nicely and no wobbling.  They are super sturdy even for my young and messy kids.  Guests have complimented us on them and a few have purchased their own stools.  I love these stools!  Worth the money!
