I think I’m going to enjoy these chairs. I just got them, so I can’t comment about durability. I read the reviews that said putting them together was not easy with one person. Since I’ve been doing so much of that lately, and am tired, I decided to use the assembly service offered through Angi. They sent me an appointment which I didn’t like, but changing it was easy. The service man contacted me two days ahead of time and said he was in the area, and offered to come over and do the work that afternoon, which worked well for me. He put them together in no time. He was very polite, and did a good job.
