These chairs are stylish and perfect to achieve that mid century modern look. The assembly is what knocks a star off though. There are stickers to identify the pieces but they don’t come off easily and leave a residue. The instructions say you only need a screwdriver, but to attach the seat to the rest of the chair you have to use L brackets and screw straight into the wood with no starter hole, so a drill is definitely needed. It also had a bizarre solution for making sure the chair doesn’t wobble- dropping it from a certain height so things “fall into place”. A strange process and took a lot longer than the 20 minutes it mentions (per chair) so if you think it’s worth the effort- good luck!
