Very easy construction, solid frame, and beautiful design. One thing that surprised me was that the bottom of the chair has a black fabric covering that could be opened with Velcro to assemble the chairs and closed when finished. All of the hardware is then hidden. The cushioning on the chairs is fantastic too! The material has a slight crosshatch design of darker and lighter shades of taupe, adding character to the chair. The chairs are extremely comfortable and have already been test by six different people within 24 hours of assembling. We are so happy with this purchase!
