These chairs are beautiful and look amazing in my apartment. They were easy enough to put together but we wasted about a half an hour trying to figure out how to put the legs on correctly, when an additional stage in the directions would have cleared everything up. The chairs are sturdy but do not come with any cushions for the floor so you will need to purchase some separately. The chair is hard initially but it seems like it will get softer over time. Overall, well constructed and beautiful!
