Purchased 4 of these barstools for a new construction. They were very easy to assemble. Instructions were very clear. I am 73 yo and was able to assemble by myself. It took about 3.5 hours to assemble all four. Packed very well and no missing parts. They even included extra screws/bolts for each set of stools. They are quite comfortable and fabric feels so soft. Very sturdy and heavy. I looked for months before making my decision. I saw these and decided to take a chance. I am not disappointed. I just assembled them yesterday so i will update review after we have used for a while to let you know how they hold up. For the money, they are beautiful!
