The online reviews seem to focus on the major difficulties to put two bar stools together with two people and it still being very difficult.  I disagree 120%.   I assembled both bar stools, by myself (age 65) within two hours and was not getting upset or frustrated at all.  The assembly was very straightforward and simple.   Don't tighten the screws until the end is key to completing this work.   All the other reviews , once assembled praised the construction and strength of the bar stools.  I agree with those comments.   We are even considering buying more stools for outside.

Overall,  we are very very happy with the product.
