I ordered three of these bar stools.  The first arrived with a broken arm which would not allow assembly because it bears so much pressure, so the company replaced it.  Assembly was challenging because when it says "do not tighten screws" that is critical--don't.  Handsome to look at and very heavy but the finish, particularly around the trellis seat back, is very rough and cheap feeling.  I will sand that area and refinish with poly stain before we use them.  Would never pay $300 for this stool.

Pros: Handsome stool.
Cons: Not well finished.
