My 6 chairs came in 3 separate boxes. I opened the first box excited to put the legs on the chairs. There were no instructions so, not realizing there were different chair lengths, put the longer legs on the back, shorter on the front. I sat down to see what they felt like.....and was immediately disappointed, the feel was not right. I didn't have time to do anymore that evening and thought about it until the next day when I had time to try again. I put the longer legs on the front, shorter on back and it made all the difference! The seats were comfortable. The instructions were enclosed in both of the next boxes, the chairs went together quickly and I came to love my new chairs......they could have made the chairs a bit deeper, for taller people like me, but I'm not expecting perfection!
