I love these stools.  I put it together in about 20 minutes.  By the 3rd one, it was a little faster.  They are extremely sturdy stools, slightly heavy which is what I wanted.  The swivel is very nice.  For mine, you have to hold onto the counter to move the swivel, it's not going to spin as you're trying to sit on it.  Which, to me, makes it more sturdy.  I am happy about the value for the price point!
