The stools are OK ,a bit pricey for put it together yourself chinese furniture,but the main deficiency was the shipper,FedEx! It's as if they ship them on Conestoga wagons. The tracking said my 4 stools were in Rialto,CA ,about 60 miles from my home.They sat THERE for FIVE days! Then they delivered one of them on Monday,then two more on Tuesday,and the last one today. Horrible shipping!
