Very happy to have found real hardwood chairs at a great price. Once assembled they're comfortable with full sized seats. They're not the 3/4 apartment-sized chairs you find in so many stores. Ours came without directions. I am sure Wayfair would have mailed or emailed them right away had I asked but we just went ahead and put them together without. Assembly wasn't bad although it helps to have a 2nd person to hold the seat portion when needed. They feel sturdy and work perfectly with the matching table. Very pleased with the end result.
