These chairs are beautiful! They are sturdy, soft and easy to put together. I am a 62 year old woman that sat down on my couch and put them together one by one. My husband works from home so he carried all the chairs and place them at my reach so that I could easily reach each piece. I sat for 3 and a half hours and put six chairs together. All the holes aligned up but there were two that I had to removed the lining out of but once I did that it was smooth sailing. I suggest you make sure all the parts are there and screw in the screws before you start putting parts together so that you know the screws work smoothly and the holes are clear. This will make the job easy and fast! They match my gray microfiber drapes that are pulled back on my patio doors. This was a perfect match for my décor!
