Read the reviews and  thought…”My husband can put anything together.” These stools had him aggravated. It definitely needs two people to put together. I do love them though!  The dents in the inside arms are from the legs during shipping. I hope the dents will fluff out with time. The measurements said they were 35” and they are 36”  
They didn’t tuck under our counters as much as i would have liked them too.
