Ordered these a few weeks ago. They are a typical mass-produced furniture product that you assemble yourself. They are nice looking and fairly sturdy. I would recommend using better glue to assemble these stools than what is supplied with them, and be somewhat liberal with it. The only problem was that while assembling the second stool, after glue was already applied to specific areas, I found two splits in one of the legs when trying to drive in the screw. The leg was split in two places and since glue was already drying, I pushed on. I was able to open up the split sections enough to apply glue and then I was able to to screw the leg together from different sides to keep the split from getting worse. Now that it's all said and done these are some decent stools but I got these on sale... and I got what payed for.
