The stool looks GREAT!  It was very easy to put together and seems very strong.  If you loosen the phillips screws (1/4 turn) holding the wooden support already attached to the seat before you put it together, it's MUCH easier to assemble.  Be sure to tighten them back up with all the other screws you use to assemble the stool.  I left all of the screws loose, tipped the stool right side up and moved it around so that all the pieces could seat themselves properly, then tightened each screw a little bit at a time so the stool doesn't get pulled out of alignment.  VERY easy!  Took about 10 minutes per stool.
