I’m handy. I’ve put a ton of things together both on Wayfair, ikea, handmade stuff. These chairs were beyond frustrating to our together. I disagree with others  that the instructions are difficult to understand. But I totally agree that aligning the screws with the holes seems impossible. For that sole reason it easily takes an hour or so per chair. (I got 4) I wouldn’t buy these again or I’d pay someone else to have the headache of putting them together!
