very comfortable and just what I was looking for.  I like the look so much that I have now ordered the bistro table and chairs to match.  Assembly was not difficult. I did it by myself - would have been easier with another person to hold the pieces as I was fastening, but it worked when I positioned the chair on its side per the directions (Yes, I tried to do it my way first and was not as easy as I thought it would be!).  First chair took about 20 minutes (my way...) and second chair took less than 15 minutes.  FYI, on both there seems to be a little space on the right side connection from the back to the seat when fully tightened, but has not affected its use.  I would highly recommend this chair for its style and comfort.  I have taken a pic of the chairs, one open with the ottoman and one closed.
