These are a definite case of “you get what you pay for”. They look great, but as other reviewers mention, these are VERY difficult to assemble. I’m pretty comfortable assembling complex furniture, and I was still putting in forty minutes per stool on these, even as I got the hang of it. As well, they’re poorly constructed. The legs are all slightly off, and they have a slight wobble to them.  As well, I didn’t get enough hardware initially, and the vendor took over a month to get me the replacement parts. If these are the style you really want, go for them, but know that you’re not necessarily getting a great deal at the price
