_The Wood is very different from one foot to the other stool ... not the color but the weight, some feet are light while other heavier.
_Personnellement I cut the feet because they were too high for my work plan (laser and jigsaw ...) NICKEL!
_L'assise Is very comfortable, we should buy them before.
_No Hole problem in revenche I missed all 3 screws on 6 stools I bought !!
_ Stability is very hard to solve unless one good cup feet. Otherwise they must be left loose screws stabilize the stool and tighten the screws.
