I really like these chairs! I was thinking about buying some very similar ones at a local store (which were very comfortable) but twice the price. I knew if I took the chance and bought from Wayfair and I didn’t like them, I would be stuck with them because I wouldn’t be returning them. I’m so glad I took the chance! They glide and swivel smoothly. I bought thicker cushions but honestly, the ones that came with it are comfortable enough. As far as assembly, it was tedious but not difficult. I have never assembled anything in my life but my husband was working a 24 hour shift so I decided to try to tackle the assembly myself. The instructions were clear and I had no issues assembling on my own! Yes, it would’ve been easier with 2 people as the pieces are large and somewhat heavy. It would’ve helped to have 1 person hold it while the other person lined up the holes and put the screws in but not necessary. I would purchase again and in fact, I may purchase another set!
