The stools themselves are great! Very comfortable, and we've had many compliments. They would have been easy to put together (only 4 screws per seat!) ... however the holes in the seat were not pre-threaded, so the screws and allen wrench did not work. I contacted Wayfair through the website and didn't receive a reply. Luckily my husband is handy and was able to make it work, and we love the stools - but it was frustrating trying to get them assembled!
