No assembly required! Very comfortable! Especially like the no arm rests. Well constructed! The only suggestion I have is to add to the design some sort of back wheel so they can be moved easily. They weigh about 35 lbs each and when you drag them the it leaves black marks on the pool deck. They washed or rubbed away but we bought pads to put on the corners legs so they can be dragged. It takes 2 people to move them or one strong person.
