I really love these chairs.  Beautiful and VERY comfortable.  It would have been an easy 5-star review were it not for the fact that 5 (!) of the holes would not line up so we could get the bolt/screw in.  A friend came to help.  It took a lot a strength from TWO people to line up those holes -- and an extra hour-and-a-half.  Finally, got it and am now VERY happy with these wonderful chairs.  Consider opting for "expert assembly".
