These chairs are really comfortable sitting in. They werent hard to put together, but take a little time. There were no instructions included except for the one that gave you pictures of the tools, screws and size  where they were to go on the chair. It wasnt hard to follow at all. Im actually enjoying these chairs  they are a compliment to our patio. We did have a storm early this morning of 60 mile hour wind and rain. I was hoping that theyd stay put, and they moved a little on the patio, but they were in tack when I checked them this morning. The pillows were drenched, but they dry very quickly. Its worth the purchase for the price. They were delivered quickly with no hassle.
