After reading all the reviews, I decided to purchase 2 of these chairs. It arrived a few days early which was awesome.  Upon opening the first box, I notice that the middle slat of the back rest was loose. upon inspection, the tip of the screw was broken in half but it was an easy fix. I replaced the screw and went on with the assembly.  The reviews on the easy assembly was true. These chairs were so easy to put together. I put these chairs together in less than an hour by myself. They are light weight but after putting them together, they are pretty sturdy. Can't wait to paint it!!
