These stools are so nice! We bought 3 of them on sale for a great price and also got free shipping. They were packed very well and were easy to put together. The first one took about 40 minutes, including the time it took to get the box open. The second one, about 30 minutes, and the third one (after knowing what parts went where) about 20 minutes. They are very well made and are quite sturdy. They are the perfect height for our bar height counter.
