The Chair looks great in our Kitchen and is pretty sturdy, however, the assembly was not the most pleasant experience. And we are not new to DIY furniture - we have assembled bookcases and chests of drawers in our home. A chair shouldn't take 3 + hours to assemble! Also - it says you don't need tools but we had to eventually use our drill. Giving 3 stars only because it does look good as a finished product.
