Easy peasy to assemble all by myself. I love the color--more of darkish denim blue, which actually worked out great. I love that these chairs are wide enough to hold large adults, but dont take too much room from a limited space. We have cats, so I added a washable, reversible quilted chair cover to protect the fabric and keep the shredded hair contained and off the fabric. My husband even sat in them and said they were nice!
