It took my husband and I just under approx 2 hours to assemble 4 chairs. LOTS of pieces. Once we got the hang of assembling the first one, we moved faster with the other 3. The plastic seat is attracting lint and hair like a magnet.   I was able to wipe them away a few dark scuffs made during assembly. The back of the seat has some give if you were to push your back into it. The seat is super comfortable . An issue I anticipate is that the black chair legs will show lots of dings in time. I didn’t realize the legs were lighter wood, painted black therefore once the legs are nicked and dinged, the lighter wood will show through.  Overall, nice looking chairs for the price but be informed of my findings.
