Solid  chair, ample for people large and small. 

As previous reviewers have noted, a third hand would definitely make assembly much easier. I succeeded in putting the first one together by myself by dint of much contortion and at least one howl of frustration, then more sensibly waited for help to build the other three. It was worth it, as we're very happy with them -- they are really comfortable and shed the rain well enough to stay nice and clean, plus the nostalgic shell design looks great.
