The chairs are very easy to assemble with the allen wrench that is provided - no other tools needed.  The quality is better than I expected, both in the fabric and the wood.  The color is true to the photo, but maybe a bit more greige than a pure light grey.  I love that the seat cushion is removable, but it stays put with velcro. The fabric is nicely stretched on the frame, no wrinkles, and the seams are constructed and line up well.   I also ordered the Blaisdell Bench in dark grey to go with the chairs, but I might be back to order 2 dark grey chairs to go with the 4 light grey I now have. This purchase was definitely a win!!
