Just got them a few days ago. You do have some assembly to do, but they do give you the tool you need. I do wish the screws were Phillips head so you didn't have to keep the small tool they give you. It feels sturdy thus far. I would recommend scotch guarding them if you plan for high traffic or have kids like we do. Then reapply the scotch guard about every 6 months. Just to make sure they stay looking great!
