I saw the other reviews that said it was hard to put together.  Nevertheless I figured I could figure it out, being an industrious person.  I did get them together, but it wasn't easy, and they really could've been designed better.  But then, if they were designed better, they'd probably cost more, and the price is definitely right.  The material is soft and pliable, the design is ergonomic, and they look great.  I just wish my kitten hadn't liked them as much as I did.  If you have a cat that likes to shred furniture, be ware.  But that's not the chair's fault.  Overall I like them, and when I get tired of them, at this price point I'll have no problem replacing them in a few years.
