We were delighted when we received these chairs.  They are fairly easy to put together and don't require a great deal of time to do so.  Once together, they are strong and durable.  Best of all, they're really gorgeous!  We bought the black ones to go with our round black kitchen table and the combination is nothing short of outstanding.  We absolutely LOVE the fact that they are on wheels so we can "roll" instead of "scoot" our chairs to and from the table.  Also, they are very comfortably wide (for larger folks) and EXTREMELY comfortable.  We do a lot of game and card playing, and these chairs are perfect for sitting in the same spot for a few hours.   I can't speak highly enough of these chairs - we are already thinking of purchasing a few more!  Love love LOVE them.
