I love these stools! I wouldn't exactly call them bar stools but definitely counter stools.. I read reviews before purchasing and some said that pieces were missing or holes didnt line up but I had absolutely no issue! The instructions were simple and easy. I had my daughter sit on the stool before 100% tightening them all up so it wouldn't wobble.. arrived before it said it was suppose to. Everything arrived in one box. Dont open with a knife as the cushions sits on top of everything! I would absolutely recommend!
