I love these counter stools.  All 3 arrived in one large box.  Easy directions to follow and all pieces wrapped carefully in foam.  I assembled all 3 in less than an hour. The first one took the longest since I wasn't sure which screws were which since they weren't marked in their packaging but it was actually pretty easy to figure out and once I completed assembly of the 1st stool the next 2 were a breeze!
