I bought 4 gray chairs for a new dining table.  The chairs look great and are very easy to put together by yourself. They are well made and look more expensive than they are. The first chair took me 20 minutes. The rest took me about 12 minutes each to put together. My time-saving tips:  1) Remove all the hardware from the packaging before starting a chair (be sure to use longer screws for the front legs) 2) put the washers on all screws before starting, 3) hand screw in every screw as much as you can (you'll avoid alignment issues) 4) After you have all screws in, use the wrench to tighten them all. Those tips should speed up assembly. All of my chairs were level.
