The chairs are exactly what I expected.  It does take about 3 or more hours to assemble.  The negative I have is the awful smell like formaldehyde.  I put all pieces outside to air, before assembly, which helped.  I am now using charcoal which is supposed to help in getting rid of the odor.  Hopefully once they are outside for a while the odor will go away.  The odor is extremely strong and very unpleasant.  I am happy with the chairs.
