These are comfortable and sturdy chairs. I like how they are lighter weight since they are made of aluminum. They were tricky to assemble, like many of the reviews have stated but it took me less than an hour for each chair. I took the advice of an earlier review that suggested assembling one side of the chair, keeping the bolts loose at first so that they could wiggle into place a little easier when I got to the other side. Once it all aligns then I tightened it all up… NOTE one chair had misaligned bolt holes so I couldn’t connect that section so I contacted customer service. They are replacing the defective pieces so I’m happy with the resolution of this prob.
