We bought two of these stools and loved the design.  However, one of the bottom stretcher rings was cracked and scratched.  Twice, Wayfair was unable to send us a replacement stretcher that was in better shape than the original, damaged part.  The first replacement looked used, scratched and unevenly stained.  The second replacement piece was missing an important metal footrest on the front and the stain didn’t match.  We decided to keep the stools, rather than return both.  We had to purchase wood glue, clamps, and a filler and stain kit to make the original damaged stool presentable.  We are disappointed in the quality control of the manufacturer and in Wayfair’s inability to send us a quality replacement part, especially for the high price we paid!
