These stools are fantastic!  We ordered 4 and they went together with no problem... the directions were in pictures and very clear!  They are really well built and are supposed to hold over 400 lbs!  There was only one screw missing... which is amazing since there were 4 stools! The company is sending us a replacement, but these things are so well built, there will be no problem using it until the replacement screw arrives.  They are also easily adjusted to various heights, so we can use them at a desk also, by adjusting it to its lowest height.
