The stools worked out great for what I needed, which was just 3 stools with no backs.    Took a little time putting them together, but got a lot faster after the first one was done.   Sturdy with a nice finish.   They were well packaged with all parts there, nothing missing.    From a comfort standpoint, I wouldn't want to sit on them for hours, but they are really decent stools especially given the low price.
