Easy to assemble- my 12 year old grandson assembled one of them for me. The only issue I have is attaching the cane seats to the chairs. The screws that came were too short.Tried larger screws, but stopped installing screws as the screws seem to "eat" and shred the rush where they attach from frame to seat, causing damage to underside of seat. The rush seats fit snugly, so didn't permanently attach. Doesn't seem to be a problem. I love the red color...it adds a splash of color-exactly as pictured. Glad I purchased them!
