Chairs are pretty much exactly what I expected. I was able to put them together fairly easily BUT it's because I have a power screwdriver with bits for both the nuts and the Allen wrench. I had to use  both to truly tighten the bolts. It would have been significantly harder if I tried to throw-away use the tools that came with it.  The hardest part wast getting the plastic protective stoppers off the ends of the let pieces - what a pain.
