I ordered 4 of these stools for my kitchen island. They arrived in 1 week. The stools were well packaged and the only assembly required was attachment of the backrest to the stool. The little wrench and an extra lug nut were provided. The stool is wide-based and sturdy. It's a great looking stool at a good price. However, I was surprised to find black fabric on the back of the backrest instead of leather- the same black fabric found on the bottom of furniture. It makes for an unfinished look. 2 of the 4 backrests are also a bit crooked but not noticeably so unless next to a horizontal surface (like the kitchen island). The backrests are attached to the underside of the stool so removing them is an option.
