These chairs were easy to assemble. The leg assembly cam pre-assembled, and just needed to be screwed to the plastic seat. The instructions didn't have the same advice as the Evangeline Dining Table I paired these chairs with, but I'd suggest it's relevant here too: screw the legs on LOOSELY at first, and don't tighten until you've turned it right-side up. If you're thinking of making the same pairing I did, you should know that the stain on these chairs' legs is slightly darker than on the Evangeline table, but it's close enough for me. The chairs are small -- only as big as they need to be, but they do comfortably support a 200-lb. person with no concerns -- making them a great choice for a small dining area. I wouldn't want to sit in them for a long time since they have no padding, but they're more than adequate for a meal.
