I really like this piece but have to give only three stars because of assembly. Attaching the seats to the stool base was pretty difficult and we ended up using a drill. Definitely get a friend to help you out with assembly, as it is tricky and time consuming. If you are not reasonably mechanically inclined and don't have a drill or a screwdriver, this will be a painful task.

However, it's perfect for my tiny studio. Lots of usable surfaces and somehow doesn't feel as big as it is when it's just sitting in the room. I dig that the skinny metal bars make it feel minimal and unobtrusive in my tiny apartment.
