I was disappointed in the quality. Very difficult to attach some of the screws because the holes were not lined up perfectly. I have been assembling furniture for over forty years, while raising a family, so I am very familiar with putting things together. I am keeping the stool - once it was set up,it was in good shape. I knew from the picture that the stain was reddish or orangey, but it was even more bright orange and more glossy than I anticipated. I am using it in a kitchen with red oak cabinets and I was hoping it would blend in, but no! I painted it a color and it's good enough for my kitchen desk area. The lattice back is roughly finished on the edges, so I had to do a lot of sanding.
