Well made, but needs a better hex tool to assemble
This was purchased as a stool for a workshop setting- it will work fine for that. It is made in Vietnam, using a typical relatively blond hardwood as used in many other inexpensive but sturdy pieces of utility furniture I have bought on . The only fault is that the provided hex tool is too small and short to have good leverage for the force needed for installing the hex head wood screws- this doesn't surprise me, as the small basic hex tools supplied are often not quite up to the job. A tool like the DeWalt DWHT70263M Folding Locking Hex Key Set, MM, makes the assembly straight forward, as long as you have a bit of arm strength. My 65 year old GF might have had trouble with it, but as a 6' 2 long time woodworker and craftsman, my 69 YO arms had no problems. The wooden plugs for the screw holes fit fit, and tapped down nicely with a standard rubber mallet.
Recommended, as long as you have a good mm hex wrench and rubber mallet.
