Our rustic bar stools arrived on time but the thin wood back piece were broken on both of them. We were able to wood glue and clamp them for repair and they appear to be working well, only time will tell. Even though these thin wood pieces were broken, the rest of the stools were super sturdy, solid wood with strong hardware to put it together. I'm in agreement with some of the other reviews about there being a lot of pieces to put together, however, it wasn't hard at all. The bar stools feel good while sitting in them and the 360 swivel is convenient to have and they do look like great in our setting. I would buy from Bestoutdoor again!
