At first sight I thought it was going to be hard to assemble, but it was not so hard. It would be easy with two people to hold parts in place while you place the bolts and screws in place. I like this purchase it is a nice vintage look to the front of my house. I have gotten many compliments on these chairs. I purchased two of these and have them on my front porch. I thought they would be lightweight but no these are of good quality metal. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Pros: No up keep just a quick dust off and ready to sit.
Cons: I kind of worry that someone might want to steal them. They are really cool!!!  LOL
