I bought eight of these for my backyard bar and they are amazing! Although you had to use an Allen key to put them together, the holes lined up correctly and assembly wound up being a breeze. It would have went quicker if I had the Allen key attachment for my drill (highly recommend as a separate purchase for future project). All in all the stools are sturdy, the directions were simple, the seats are comfortable, and on top of all that the price was great!
