The stools were easy to assemble, they’re comfortable, and they look good-especially for the price. They were damaged when they arrived and the wood portion isn’t as nice as we had hoped - maybe they gel stained them We aren’t sure but when we unpackaged them, they smelled like someone had stained them and immediately packaged them. Either way, we are pretty happy with them and plan to touch up the damage areas with a furniture pen if we can.
