This goes out to all the people whi say in stupid! I just assembled a very cute and sturdy counter stool in just 10 minutes! It took me longer to drag the box inside and open it. I could have done it in about 3-5 minutes, but I took a Snack break-intermission after 2nd screw. Also it helped to watch this:https://youtu.be/7kfd_o3n-XYI hope the you tube works. Jist Google- how to assemble counter stool.So im smarter than what most pf my family and friends think. Im a lazy lady in my late 30's. Its Saturday and I prdered this Thursday night online.

It was almost 2:45 am.After getting into my jammies...I tossed n turned. I was tired n dizzy lol. So I decided to put these together. The unwrapping of the protective layers took themoat time. All pieces were shiny and scratch free. Please take off black plastic part that says caution. Im thankful that each stool had its own small plastic bag containing a L shape tool and 4 screws. I got excited after my First assemble, I misplaced the L tool. Thank Goodness this conpany thought avout idiots like me. They include each stool to have its own L tool and screws. I love it.
