I purchased the dark brown chairs; they are a tad bit lighter and look beautiful in my dining room.  I am glad I choose that color.  Putting them together was not that difficult except for one leg (I bought 4 chairs, so 1 leg is not a deal killer).  My husband was able to get it to work - don't muscle through it.  You don't want to strip the metal.  Put the screw in by itself without attaching the chair first to get the "kinks" out.  I had read the previous reviews and was a little concerned, but if you follow the directions and tighten the screws by hand slowly and equally along the back side there was not too much difficulty.  We finished it off with the electric screw driver, no wobbly chairs :)

Pros: Great value, comfortable
Cons: took a while to assemble
