The stools are great quality. Very sturdy and comfortable, and they happened to fit our decor perfectly. The only issue we ran into was with the assembly. There are two notches for the two sets of legs to fit together and then attach to the seat. The notch for one set of the legs was not centered, so we could not attach them to the seat properly because the holes for the screws were not lining up. Fortunately, my fiance was able to cut the metal to extend the notch. It worked out great for us, but would likely have been a problem for lots of other people without the proper tools.
