Straight out the box 5 stars!
Very easy to assemble. I got 2 camel colored stools and Im in love with the look of them. Remember to removed the black cap off the piston. I saw where someone was asking how to remove the red cap. Dont touch it! Youll have a problem adjusting the height if you do. Theres a slight wobble that I think Ill fix with some felt strips strategically placed. Over all Im happy with the purchase and delivery was within 3 days.
