Winsome Element Counter Stools, Natural & White, 24", 2 Piece Set

If an 80 year old female can put two of these together in less than an hour. . .I think anyone can do it. So easy to assemble and instructions are even easy to follow. Sturdy stools that look wonderful. Love them. . .highly recommend and I'm using them as end tables on my back patio.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Easy to put together. Very sturdy. Nice looking.

So, these are not hard to assemble, but there are a few tricks that make it FAR easier.1. Get a hex driver bit for your power screwdriver. The included hex wrench is very hard on the hands to get the screws tight. It is metric, so be sure to get the right bit. That "freight" company near the "harbor" has cheap bit sets that will do the job.2. Speaking of tight screws, if you try to tighten them all the way down you will strip the head of the supplied screw. Pre-drill the hole an extra 1/2" with an 11/32" drill. They will still tighten but without destroying the screw.3. If you can get Robertson (square head) screws, use them to attach the seat instead of the Phillips head screws they supply. Use #8 x 1.5" flat head screws. You can use the supplied screws, but be careful to not strip the heads. Square head screws are superior to any other type. Trust me.4. The wood plugs fit just fine, contrary to some other reviews. But, put a little wood glue around the sides of the hole first, then tap in flush with a rubber mallet. Not too much glue, you don't want the glue to squirt out on the finish.5. And by the way, seating the crossbars is far easier and more reliable with a rubber mallet.Do not assume the stools will be totally level. They are not. They rock a bit. Not bad, but noticeable. If you are a gluten for punishment you could sand down 1 or 2 leg ends a bit to level them, but applying some soft feet is a better option. My stools will be used in a theatrical setting so the slight rocking is not an issue. Any stick-on feet will not last in our environment, but should be OK in a home bar.The stools are quite nice for the price. Not super quality, but not a C note each either. Make sure you get all screws tight. If I was doing these again I'd put some wood glue into the bottom (longer) crossbar holes before screwing them together. The top crossbars should not be glued because they will allow the stool to flex a bit and self-level (as much as they do). For my purposes I would buy these again. For a nice home bar, perhaps something nicer would be better. I don't have a home bar, so the point is moot. Hope these tips help you!

This came in a set of 2. Very easy to put together and a great height. Used for dance routine and was very sturdy.

perfect for the house

The chair itself is very sturdy, but the prongs where the seat lays into the legs don't work very well. On both stools the seat has come loose and wobbles, now this is an easy fix, wood glue and a couple bricks to weigh it down.That being said; should I have to repair a product that is as expensive as this is when it's not even a year old? No

Easy to put together and they work perfect in the craft room. Love the design.

These are good-quality stools. I bought two sets and am pleased with them.
