We ordered 6 of these to around our fire pit and love them.  After the first one each chair took about 15 minutes to assemble.  I was concerned that they would sit too low, but I feel like they are a comfortable couch-like height.  The chairs feel sturdy.  I can spend quite a while hanging out around the fire pit sitting in this chair, but if we had ordered the foot stools I think I could certainly spend an afternoon lounging in them.
