The chairs arrived quickly and although seemingly packaged well, one front leg is scratched but at the bottom and I can touch it up. The directions are not very good for a first time assembler and thanks to a previous post from someone else who ordered these (thank you!) the front stretcher bar is tapered and different than the rest. It was a bit trial and error figuring out the the lower holes on the front legs were where the front stretcher went and the upper holes were for the side stretchers. It didn't take long to put them together once I figured out how. Gave them 3 stars instead of 4 due to scratch and not so helpful assembly instructions, otherwise they are nice looking and still a great value for the price.
