I ordered these on a Sunday afternoon and they were delivered to me by Tuesday afternoon.  Was very pleased with quick delivery!  They were packaged well and no defects were present.  They were very easy to assemble and took only about 30 minutes to do so.  Seem pretty sturdy so far and perfect for what I need.  I would agree with the previous post about the wood being 'soft', so if you have animals or small children climbing on them they may dentscuff easily.  Would recommend if you are looking for a basic dark colored counter height stool.
