Last week, I would have given this product between 4 & 5 stars, but after only 4 months of use I discovered a large crack on the front of one of the stools.  This was a part that came pre-assembled, so it appears the manufacturer already had a hairline crack in the wood that they screwed into when assembling this product.  It was not visible when we first put the stools together, but apparently 4 months of my 44lb daughter using the stools was enough to weaken the wood further to the point that we can't use this stool anymore.  

I would love to receive a replacement part, but since the product is more than 30 days past our order date I dont' have that option available anymore.
