A bit tedious to assemble, though not difficult.   I was unable to  get the "wiggle" out of the stools, no matter how tight I adjusted the screws.  And the instructions say specifically not to over-tighten.  The Wayfair have no protective coating to protect against shoe scuffs.  Nice contemporary look  and comfortable.   I purchased the "butternut" color which contrasts nicely with the espresso legs.  All in all, you get what you pay for - this is an ok barstool for the price.
