VERY easy to put chairs together.  Took less than 5 min per chair.  Another review suggested using a rubber mallet so we used one for a final tap on all the legs.  Not required, but helpful.  They are pretty light to move around so not sure how well they will hold up over time and constant use but they do look good.  You can also lay the back down completely flat (item description was a bit vague on this).  With the price to try it out.  Bought cushions through Wayfair as well and sizing as reference point was spot on.
