Chairs took longer to receive than I would have hoped but arrived well packed in four enormous boxes. Very easy to unpack and only assembly is one big bolt that is hammered in which can be hammered out again in order to fold. One chair was put together incorrectly and I had to fix which was confusing and frustrating and I was never able to get the one screw back in properly. All that said, I love them- they are sturdy and well made and hopefully will resist the tropical weather of Florida- it is also a huge relief to have chairs that fold as trying to secure my former wood non-folding adirondack  chairs while preparing for hurricanes was stressful and too much work! these are a great value with minimal assembly !
