I paid to have them assembled.  It was a fast appointment and it took them a short time to do it.  I think the chairs are very pretty.  That said, I hate them.  They are taller by two inches from my other stools.  These are very uncomfortable.  I am a big girl but they are supposed to support 350 lb.  If so, why am I sliding off the seat?   The seat is very narrow.  Swivel is very hard to operate.  I would send them back but I have to have them disassembled and put back in the box.  At the age of 70 with a healing broken wrist, I don't think that will happen.  But again, they look very nice.  Just wish I could sit in one of them.
