Easy to understand assembly. Sturdy and beautiful chair, looks beautiful at our farm house style table with the shaker bench. One small note: I ordered the linen finish and on the website the picture of the linen finish looks pale blue. I was somewhat surprised to open my package and find it to actually be off white. However, that turned out to look even better so I was happy with the color. But I would have been very disappointed if I had really had my heart set on a pale blue. The picture ought to be updated to show that the chair is off white.
