First, they got here well before they were scheduled to arrive. Second, they took about 15 min per chair to put together, fairly easy too. The chairs are sturdy, nice wide seat that will accommodate all bottoms, and sturdy frame. We bought these for our new island and they fit great, the legs don't extend out too far and for our small island (55 inches long) we are able to just fit 3 chairs on the one side and the 4th at the end. Nice addition to our home. Customer service was excellent too!
