I fell inlove with the Carlyle Stool Set when I saw them in a Target store. I ordered them online with the free shipping and 15% discount and they arrived in 2 days. I highly recommend them, also the table in the set (review to come). They’re very beautiful and they look so chic in my small dining room. The price is great too. I bought a set of two for $129.99 not including the 15% discount. It was once on sale for $99.99.
QUALITY:
They seem well constructed. I haven’t sat on them many times yet, but so far so good.
CONDITION:
They arrived in good condition with parts complete. There was one little scratch on one of the back rests, but it wasn’t very noticeable. A little dark paint or maybe with a Sharpie and you will never know there was a scratch.
ASSEMBLY & INSRUCTIONS:
Very easy. The instructions are mostly diagrams/images. What I love about the assembly was that the hardware (i.e. screws) are grouped with each step. Not like most assembly where the hardware are mixed together and you end up wasting time looking for the right hardware for each step. The only complaint I have was that the cushions don’t have holes or guides to where you have to screw them in.
TIPS:
1. When screwing the “square” part to the back rest (Step 1), make sure that the three holes are facing upwards. I didn’t realize they were for the cushions at that early stage of the assembly. I made a mistake once and the chair ended up not being level.
2. Do not screw the parts in tight yet so you can easily adjust them to make the chair more level. You can tighten them up in the end.
3. Find the middle of the cushion and draw a light line at the bottom from front to back to guide you where to screw the middle screw.
