We purchase these chairs four in total for our cabin around our fire ring.  It took about 20 minutes to put each one together.  But that was because they are well made with lots of supports to put together!  So don't let this scare you!  They are nice and heavy.  No fuss quality!  We are so impressed with these chairs!  They are nice and big so a man who is tall is as comfortable as everyone else.  We are very happy with this purchase!
