I am pleased with the bar stools except for the assembly using wood screws with a hex head requiring a hex wrench provided in the box. The pilot holes were not drilled uniformly so it was difficult to screw in the screws deep enough to secure the cross braces. This caused a problem of wearing down the screw head hex insert. Some screws were drilled deep enough but others were not. I was unable to insert the the black plugs over most of the screws leaving a gold screw head visible. Disappointing!
