I bought this because I needed two barstools fast and cheap. They are cheap looking, although if you are going for an industrial look they might be cheap in a good way. If you are trying to deepen your buddhist practice these chairs are incredibly beneficial. You will learn patience, skill, and compassion in a 1 to 2 hour sitting. Hopefully you have saved your little wrenches from other projects as these aluminum ones strip easily. You do not need two people unless you are trying to save your relationship through the shared hardship method. I only have two left over screws but I deemed them to be unnecessary for structural integrity. If you buy this stool see if you can determine which screw on each chair I chose to give up on. Hopefully you bought 2 so you will not be annoyed by the poor forethought of design when you practice putting the second one together. Overall the experience was a great opportunity to practice buddahdharma, if you were Christian you could turn the other cheek or realize martyrdom if you put them together for a friend. If you are atheist perhaps they will confirm that god does not exist. If you bought this and it was easy to put together, please try not to be smug; perhaps the guy in the factory was practicing compassion on the day your E holes were drilled. I recommend doing steps 3 and 4 first because....If its your job to eat a frog, its best to do it first thing in the morning. And If its your job to eat two frogs, its best to eat the biggest one first. - Mark Twain
This barstool will not be out clevered.
