Lesson learned don't just go by average rating but read the bad reviews as well. The stools were difficult to put together and once put together they became wobbly very fast. It could be assumed as operator error, however I have put together swivel stools in the past and they lasted for years. These however haven't made it to week 3. I have 6 days to seriously reconsider returning these stools. 0 out of 3 are still standing.
