Open box, pull out chair, pop it open.  I don't have to tell you what a relief it is to receive something that's not going to take 18 hours and 384 screws to put together!
To top it off, the chairs are wonderful!  The recline works so great, they're comfortable, and fold nearly flat for storage.  We will really enjoy these by our firepit in the spring and summer, can't wait.  Until then, they will wait in storage, neatly stacked.
