very easy to put together. Chairs fit right in with my restoration hardware items in the living room. they like they're from RH. can't believe how nice they are for the $ spent. They're nice and big and comfy to sit in. Note: they are BIG. which is great for us, but if you have a smaller space make sure to measure. As far as comfort, they're not too upright and the cushion has just the right amount. Critiques: One's fabric piping is a little "better done" than the other as well as one is a tad rougher.
