I'm 70 and I found the assembly of the stools (I bought 4.) to be very easy. From the opening of the packaging of parts and actually putting a stool together took about 45 minutes per chair. The first one was over an hour, but the last one took only 30 minutes. The quality is exceptional. Everyone has admired them and couldn't believe the low amount I paid for each one. I'm very pleased and I'm just waiting for the L-shaped bar to arrive! I'll have my own Sports Bar right in my home.
