Helpful hint on assembly. Attach back of the seat loosely, this allows you to line up the holes for the front part. When the front is secured, go back and tighten the back of the seat. It took 1 hour to assemble the first chair and 15 minutes for the second. I love the chairs and the cushions are thick and comfortable. Added pluses are that the armrests are substantial and the back is high enough to sit back and relax your head.
