1st, I would’ve given 5 stars but the packaging is poor. I’m not sure where in the shipment/delivery process the box was resealed. Thankfully the piece poking out is a cap that has to be removed. In the pic it shows it’s missing. One chair is wrapped in foam, the other was very thin bubble wrap. As far as putting together, you screw the legs on. No tools needed. The chairs are very comfortable. They have some weight to them which is good for windy weather. The color is not orange. It’s more towards a red hue than orange IMO. No it’s not red or hot orange. There is one strand of the plastic seating that looks damaged. I’ll have to call customer service. I don’t want that strand to pop and the plastic starts to come undo in other places. So, sturdy, looks exactly like the pic, good weight, very comfy. Packaging is not good.
