Arrived in good condition.. no issues. Were relatively easy to put together but is easier with an extra set of hands every once in a while. Look great under the "bar" height section of our hard surface kitchen counters. Hard to find 30" stools... these are perfect for bar height areas and are comfy to sit in. Any off balance wobble disappears once you sit in them... there is no uneven or wobbly feeling when seated. Great.. would recommend.
