These stools are amazing. They were easy to put together (if you follow the instructions). We ordered 4 and I couldn’t be happier. Now my neighbor wants to order some for her bar. (Do I get a discount for referrals LOL!). Don’t be alarmed by the one negative review with the bloody hand picture. If you are paying attention when you remove the bag of parts to put it together you will clearly see the exposed staples that occur as a result of pulling the small bag off. Simply remove the staples so you don’t make your hand bleed. Pay attention. These are great quality and comfortable.
