I was so excited to get these chairs, that as soon as I got them I started putting them together. It took me an hour and fifteen minutes to put the first chair together.  I have never had a problem putting together a piece of furniture before.  The hardest part is putting the seat on, the holes don't match up and it is almost impossible to get them to line up.  The chair, once put together is nice, the back of the chair seems very narrow and extra tall. I am unfortunately sending them back, could not get the second chair together even with my husbands help.
