The look of the chairs are gorgeous and clean but assembly is not too great.  My husband and I spent about 30 minutes trying to figure out how to fit bottoms into the legs.  There is a little trick to it line all three notches up and then line them into place and give them a little push to secure.  There is a learning curve and a feel for it but after the first one the others assembly will go quickly once you have the hang of it.￼. So worth because the chairs are sturdy, roomy, and comfortable.  The cushions are firm but give in nicely.  No sinking into the bottoms.  I scotch guarded the cushions and they maintained there color.  I would spray before attaching to chairs to avoid discoloring the chairs’ finish.  My husband and I plan to use some stain to protect the wood from the elements as needed.  We plan to enjoy these for many years and they are worth the investment.
