Chairs are exactly as portrayed online. No directions included, so I just looked at the picture online. The first one took me an hour to figure out because I had to cut holes in the felt washers in order to get the screws in, but it was a breeze after that. They are very sturdy, a little bouncy, comfortable and cute!  Win, win, win. I can't wait for my new flooring and AllModern steel table to arrive. . .
