I laughed when other reviews said this chair would be tricky to be assemble, but I now realize that those reviews were understated. These chairs are much more annoying to build than other assembly furniture, mostly because the Allen wrench is much too big for the available space, severely limiting the rotation. We've also noticed loosening of screws in the first two weeks, and have re-tightened our 6-chair set. All of this rigmarole followed a parts problem in which we were not sent enough screws (seems to be a problem that others have had). All of this said, the chairs are pretty neat looking.
