I couldn't have found a better-made & easier to assemble piece of furniture than this! It does make it easier to take the time up front & sort & organize each screw & washer. We bought 2 & after you've assembled the first, the 2nd stool is a breeze. Also the construction is great & is easy to see it's certainly quality furniture! Just a little tip; after assembly of the 1st bar-stool, make sure you take the time to break in the swivel mechanism by rotating back & forth several times. I highly recommend these to anyone looking to add a little class to your counter or bar.
