The chairs were easy to assemble. They look great, sleek, and are surprisingly comfortable. I've been sitting at my counter with my laptop for a few hours now, and I am still pain free! I would have given 5 stars, but the height adjustment could be a little smoother. I have to jiggle my body a little while sitting on the chair to get it to go all the way down. I also have to get completely off it to get it to go all the way up. But those are minor issues, especially for the great price. Our visitors think we spent way more than we did on them!
