My problem is with the fasteners. Or rather, the incredibly cheap SOFT allen wrench. The metal is so soft that after half the screws are installed, the wrench end is round. This wouldn't have been a problem except for the fact that I lost all my tools in a recent house fire and was forced to use what came with the stool. If you've got some decent allen wrenches this shouldn't matter. I'm more than a little irritated at having to go to a hardware store to buy a set of wrenches to install 4 screws. Otherwise, it's a well-made attractive stool.
