I very much like the stools.  They are exactly what I was looking for & blend well with existing stools in my contemporary house. However, when I had my fix it man unpack them for me, he discovered most of the screws were loose & needed tightening.  He said some of the holes where the screws go appeared to be stripped.  They are ok for now, but if the screws loosen too much in the future, he will have to deal with the problem.
