This counter stool was very easy to assemble, just 8 screws, and hex tool and instructions were provided.  I am completely happy with how comfortable it is to sit on as well as the good back support.  The color was well represented in the online photo, but not as gray as I would have liked, so I will order the upholstered “gray noise” version when it becomes available.  If that matches my counter better, I will buy 3 total.  The build quality is also very good.  I would highly recommend this stool.
