LOVE these barstools. The first one takes some time to figure out and put together but once you have one completed the others will go much faster, especially if you lay out the parts in advance.  I put 3 together on my own (woman), all tools are provided but if you have an allen wrench set at home with a good handle it is best to use it to get leverage when tightening all the screws. Think farmhouse or French country décor. They are comfortable to sit in if not wearing shorts, in shorts I find the seat can be slightly uncomfortable on the backs of your legs. One of my best Wayfair purchases.
