Received mine yesterday expecting it to be assembled. It was not. A little tricky to put together as the instructions are not real detailed. If you can do "Ikea," you can do this.

I received my stool summer of 2013 and it came fully assembled. Just popped it out of the box.

Ours was not assembled. Not sure why some are preassembled and others aren't. Love the stool.

I got the cappuccino colored stool and there was no assembly necessary at all. One of the other questioners got a different color and seemed to think there was assembly needed on it. Not sure why the company would sell one assembled and one not just in a different color. Mine is great. Very sturdy, looks good. I'm very happy with it.

When you slide the seat back on, there is a hole on each side of the posts in the back towards the bottom. There aren't any holes in the fabric, so you have to poke the hole as you screw the screws into the pre-drilled holes. I hope this helps.

The holes on the base can be a bit out of alignment like happened to me. Turn the base bottom side up and do a little twisting of the heavy weight to make it work. Hope this helps.

Something must be wrong because I had No issues and the install went smoothly. Have them ship you the correct end. We love ours and gives us that extra room to move around.

I have no problems at all. They are stiffer than the originals. They don't swivel with no weight on the stool. When I sit down, they work fine. They are also better quality then what the originals were. Mine were lubricated when I received them.

Ours are perfectly flush so there may be an issue with your item. This item has worked well for us.

I had the same experience. I contacted Amazon who told me to contact the manufacturer....no luck! I ended up returning the stools because I had no idea how to put them together.

mine bow when I walk up then but Im not worried about it. Their made so the more weight put on them the stronger they get. What I dont like about mine when unfolded they are crooked, not straight.

I'm pretty sure that we had pre-drilled holes. Make sure the pieces are in order, if they are you may have gotten a faulty set. I love the table though.

Not completely. The stools sort of flare out at the bottom so they stick out just a bit when tucked under but depending on placement, it is not a hinderance.

I encountered the same thing with the holes on the small side. Because the legs are bamboo and I didn't want the fibers fraying and splitting, I did the best I could to make sure it was line up in the holes as much as possible then used a rubber mallet to gently knock the legs into place. A few fibers did split off from the leg but I clipped them and have had no further problems.

I would for sure make sure everything had dried properly. If not there can be a clog. And make sure the arrows match up it they aren't the release won't be proper.. that's my only advice or call the company. My daughter is growing gaining weight and having normal stools. Had it over 2months without any constancy issues.

We bought them a year ago and I had the same concern. So far that has not been an issue but I made sure they were squared off when set the same as the bed otherwise a point could be an issue!

My husband had to re drill the holes, in the doors and sides, because they where not strait or at the proper angle to low the correct attachment of the various pieces. It's all together now but it took him a day to get it done. Watch, some of the wood did split with the drilling, so be careful.

I have not used the stool, personally, as it was a gift for my husband, but he says that he thinks that, in order to function properly, it has to be extended fully.
