The chairs were easy to put together with some intuition. The instructions are not 100% clear and on my 1st chair I assembled, I had to take it apart 2 times before getting it right. The other 3 chairs went a lot smoother. 2 of the chairs are wobbly so there's a defect with manufacturing that has caused this; I am sure we will have to purchase something in the future to address this. Also, one of the chairs did not have lock-nuts so we actually had to go out and purchase some to be able to assemble the chair. Had we not done that, the chair would not have been able to work. Definitely not a fan of that. Also, there are no pre-drilled holes when attaching the cushions so that was a pain. The chairs definitely look nice; assembly was not great though. So, besides the wobbling, the need to purchase lock-nuts, and the unclear instructions, they look really good, and were a great value for what we paid. If you like adventure (haha!), I'd recommend these.
