Assembly was pretty easy, I did it on my own in about 2 hours because I had a mix up in the beginning. So a heads up, the 4 armless chairs come with their own set of instructions and tools, the left arm with its own set, the right arm with its own set and the corner with its own. I made the mistake of just taking all the hardware out and not noting where it came from (comes stored under the seat) so it took me matching the tools to the instruction booklet to figure it out. And I’m sure that’s what delayed me. However once I got moving, I pretty much put the entire thing together without instructions, it’s that simple. It looks beautiful!
