International Concepts Slat Seat Stool, 18-inch, Espresso: Sturdy and Stylish Seating Solution for any Space Review

Some reviews mentioned assembly issues, but I had no problem putting this sturdy little stool together in under 15 minutes. Simple process. Just remember the basic rules for assembling wood furniture: (1) read the instructions to the end before you begin, (2) always use wood glue on the joint, and (3) do not over-tighten any screws. until all the screws are in place, then tighten each one a little bit at a time until they are tight. This makes for a nice little seat in an area where we didn't…

This is beautiful and just what I was hoping for. However, you must be able to collect things. I started from the bottom and put all the screws in the first half of the way.

I used #10 2" spax screws to attach the ends to the legs (I put in the long side pieces beforehand). The other standoffs along the long…

Yes this stool had assembly issues as described by other reviewers. However, I decided to buy one to try as the design and price were so attractive. As soon as I opened the box I was amazed by the evenness and polish of the finish. The tree looked strong. (I considered buying them to replace the long benches at our gym.)
