These chairs were quite easy to assemble. Key is to place all screws before tightening. Do not over tighten screws. It took about 2 hours to assemble chairs. The seats are quite comfortable. These chairs are derfinitel y design to be used in a diningroom. If you are looking for everyday kitchen chairs.....then don't order these. These chairs gave my diningroom an amazing facelift. I would order these chairs again. The color is brilliant.
