Very easy to assemble. Took about 5 minutes total for both chairs. They’re a nice gray color, with a faux wood look. I bought these because the price was great for a set of 2, I think they’ll be easy to keep clean, and they have slats to enable me to attach a cushion. These fit all of my needs. They’re not super heavy, so they’re easy to move around. I’m very pleased with my purchase.
