Review on Rustic Charm: VECELO 3-Piece Pub Dining Set With Counter Height Breakfast Table And 2 Bar Stools by Gent Dobson

I'm a mechanical engineer who is quite used to assembling things; however, the stools are poorly designed for an average consumer. They rely on wood screws to connect the metal frame to a wood top without any pre-drilled holes. This poses a two fold problem. The first problem is relying on a wood screw to go through fabric that bunches up before you even get to wood (or you miss entirely and hit the interior foam). The second is almost relying on the consumer to have power tools to get the wood screws in to begin with. I myself only managed with a Phillips head screwdriver after applying my entire weight. The trick seemed to be get a good grip on one screw and diagonally attach the other one before attempting the remaining screws. Had this been mentioned in the instruction sheet I would have set the project aside for tomorrow so I could get power tools from work. As it was, I had already completed the table and just wanted to be done. I think I would have rather paid a little more to get stool tops that already had metal pieces attached rather than mess with the wood screws and guesswork of alignment.
