I assembled the barstools on Saturday morning, and it didn't take long at all.  The directions aren't completely clear, but if you have general mechanical ability they are fairly easy to get together.  They look great in my kitchen.  The fabric is a bit more tan than the picture, which was perfect for us.  I had read that in other reviews, and that's why I ended up going with these.  

Pros: Fairly easy to asseble.  Great price for the product!
