My Black Counter Stool 2-pack arrived well packaged and in good condition. Each individual piece was wrapped within a thin foam sheet that protected the paint, and the surrounding cardboard box was thick and sturdy.
The instructions are simple and straightforward with large drawings that make orienting the parts easy. Each stool consists of only 5 parts: the seat, the left and right leg assemblies, and the front and back foot rests. The top of the front foot rest is clad with what appears to be stainless steel - a nice touch.
You assemble the stools by driving allen-head wood screws into pre-drilled holes. A hex key (4mm) is included to drive the screws but I found it slow and somewhat difficult to turn them with this small hex key. If your personal tool kit includes a 4mm T-handle hex key, the stools will come together faster.
After assembly, black plastic plugs are inserted into the holes to conceal the screw heads and self-adhesive felt pads are attached to the leg bottoms.
These stools are very sturdy and the black and stainless color combo is pleasing. They are a good value.
