The first one I ordered was badly damaged.  A second one was sent and it too was damaged.  I used parts from the first one to put one decent one together.  I opted not to move forward ordering three more as this was a test to see if these counter stools would work for me.   Due to the difficulty getting one in excellent shape I have chosen to go another route....I don't want to have to get six more in order to get three that look decent.
