Excellent sturdy solid wood stools for a great price!
These stools are great quality for a great price! Better than expected. These are solid hardwood...no laminates or particle board. They are nicely heavy...very sturdy. All wood grain and coloration was consistent on all pieces. They were packaged well for shipping. Each stool came flat packed in its own box. All three boxes were then put into another box for shipping. There was some standard shipping-damage to the outer box, but none to the inner boxes or pieces and parts.
Assembly was fairly easy. Took me about 20 minutes per stool. I would recommend having more wood glue on hand as the supplied bottle was not enough for my preference. You will also need a Phillips head screwdriver. And, though its not listed, Id recommend having a rubber mallet handy as well. The way the pieces fit together (pegs into holes) was fairly snug. Nothing that required me to shave the pegs or enlarge the holes...I just used a few firm taps with the rubber mallet to firmly seat each piece together.
All pieces were sized/cut properly. All pegs and holes lined up very well. as advertised, mine came with six cross-braces. The finished product looks proper and sturdy. I cant comment yet on how well they hold up, but I have a high level of confidence. With 3 boys between 5-11 years old in the house...theyre going to get a work-out. Ill try to remember to come back in six months or so and update my review. At this point, I would definitely buy these again and/or recommend anyone else considering them purchase them without reservation.
See my photos...they pretty much confirm everything in my review.
