Pros:
- Sturdy design.
- Relatively easy to assemble.
- Satisfactory instructions but could be improved.
Cons:
- Finish color not as expected; ordered light brown which appeared a semi-gloss on website; received finish was a flat greyish brown.
- Some finish flaws but not major
- About 10% of screw inserts had material within which may cause issues (see Tips)
Tips:
- Make sure screw insert threads are clear by inserting a separate ?-20 bolt (not provided) to verify.
- Placing the seat upside down on a coffee table or study tray table (~24 works well) for assembly.
- Place the foot ring over the seat before attaching the legs; it will make it easier for you later.
- Assembly may be done by one person but will need help via a clamp, tape, or another person to help start the first screw for the foot ring.
- As per the instructions, do not tighten the leg and foot ring screws until all have been started; then tighten the legs first then the foot ring screws next. Do not over tighten screws!
- Last, set the stool upright and attach the back rest.
