Easy to put together if you leave the screws loose until the end. Nice appearance, comfortable and they fit my kitchen counter perfectly. The two stools I ordered arrived on the day promised and looked just like the picture on the internet. One caution - the parts are not packed securely in the box. My parts (bolts etc.) were loose so be careful to check that everything is there before assembly if you have a similar problem. The big box containing everything was packed very well.
