Dear Joss and Main,
    We really like the chairs -- elegant looking in red and just as comfortable as I wanted.  But you have a number of reviews saying how difficult it is to put these together.  The directions were terrible -- Why not improve them??? the second chair was much easier to put together -- it was figuring it out with very little guidance in either the writing or the diagrams that made the first one so frustrating and even physically difficult to pull and push the pieces together.
