Easy assemble. Love them! Ordered 6 for around my island. Very comfy. Good Padding. I wish the nailhead trim went around the back of the chair. Since you push the chair up to the island your looking at the back of the chair which has no trim. Also, since the front of the chair has the nail head trim, when it is pushed up against the island which is made of maple wood it leaves marks in the wood. Better to have the metal nail head trim on the back of the chair than the front.
