A. INSTRUCTIONS SPECIFIED: 1. Do tighten all screws until assembly complete. 2. Use only the provided hex key and do not use hand tools. 3. Do not overtighten screws to avoid stripping. I followed those instructions to the letter. B. OBSERVATIONS: 1.Pilot holes factory-driven into the seat piece were too shallow. 2. Pilot holes-factory-driven into Leg stretcher-long (PART 04) were even more shallow. 3. Factory pre-drilled indentions in Leg Frame (PART 02) and pilot holes in PART 04 do not align. C. RESULTS: 1. Impossible to tighten screws without stripping the driven part of the screw and/or the supplied hex key. 2. Stool is not safe to sit on. D. I INTEND TO RETURN TO FOR CREDIT. E. NOTE: It may be possible to fix by drilling longer pilot holes and securing with higher quality screws. F. RECOMMENDATION: I doubt that the manufacturer quality control (if they have such a function) does not routinely test samples before they are shipped. In any case I cannot recommend this product. UPDATE
Apparently AIs and humans at are unable to read
