Ordered this back in November for our house that was under construction. We finally got around to opening the boxes last night and putting the stools together only to find that one of the barstools was unfinished and without the beading on the back. I certainly hope this can be remedied with ease. Otherwise, the stools are okay. The backs are lower than I would like but they seem pretty sturdy. The assembly was a pain and took longer than I cared for because there was no way to use a better tool than the one provided due to the angles in which the screws had to be inserted.
