For their price point these are really really nice. They were easy to put together. The only thing that I noticed was that 2 pieces were mis marked. The 2 cross bars were marked C and D, but D is C and C is D. If that doesn't make sense when you put them together it will. To me it was clear that they were mismarked. But they are very nice stools and for the area I have them it works perfect. I slide them under my counter and they fit exactly they way I wanted. Now friends and family sit there while I'm cooking.
