The chairs were fairly simple to assemble. We had one small issue and Polywood quickly solved it.  We have previously purchased Polywood chairs, tables, and rocking chairs and love them! They are outdoors in Florida sun all year long and the chairs we have had for 6 years look just as good today as they did when we first bought them.  I can’t say enough good things about Polywood.  And it’s recycled plastic jugs!
