I love the stools, and they look GREAT; however, the assembly was EXTREMELY difficult! My son assembled one with difficulty, and then I assembled the second one, and it took me over four hours. The wood screws were almost impossible to screw through to the solid wood. I also used an electric screwdriver, which did not make it any easier! 

If you love the look of these stools, then I would order them and then get an expert to assemble! :)
