Like most products on Wayfair you need to reset your expectations. This stool is literally the only one in this size in this color that was in stock. I spend countless hours trying to find the right thing so when these came back in stock I knew that I would need to temper my expectations around quality. %50 of everything I order either has damage from shipping or the build quality is poor. So of course 1 of the boxes looked extremely damaged from shipping. Luckily only a few minor scuffs were found. However one of the connecting pieces was poorly fabricated but I worked around it. They look great and I needed stools with a backrest and low seat-height and these are it. If you can learn to live with flaws with your Wayfair orders then you'll be happier in the long-run.
