Super easy to put together. For four chairs it took about 20 minutes - the four legs come together in a cross in 1 piece and four sets of screws and washers. The screws inserted quite smoothly, unlike the Aldina Side Chairs we got. The grey fabric is a nice alternative to the plastic type shell chairs this design often comes in. It's comfortable so far and I like that the legs look like wood but are made of metal - more sturdy. We've got carpet so they're pretty even, but based on how you screw it together I could see them not being so even on hard surfaces, so would suggest doing the final screw tightening upright to test the level.
