These stools look great in our new kitchen under the raised counter and are perfect for staggered breakfast times.  My fifteen-year-old son put them together and it did take a little switching around of legs to get a good fit and then only one stool is "solid."  The other stool may require some drilling and wood glue since it's not fitting together tightly.  For the price, I will ask someone with carpentry skills to take a look and help me.
