The cross bars to the stools were missing screw holes. There should have been holes drilled in the cross bars so you can screw them to the stool legs. One of my stools was not drilled at all and the other was not drilled all the way through, but I was able to punch through with a small screw driver. Needless to say, I was only able to put one stool together. The table was fine. IF the pieces were made to be assembled, it would be great.
