Chairs came in a timely manner, and packed very well.   The cream color looks great with my countertops. It said it took approximately 7 minutes to assemble one chair. However it took me an hour to do one. After that I had it down pat to under 10 minutes per chair. It included a wrench but I ended up using my husbands socket set which made it much faster.   The chairs are very sturdy. I would highly recommend these chairs.
