Fairly easy assembly.  I ordered a pair which came in one box and initially I feared they sent only one set of hardware until I realized one of the chairs came partly assembled.  One chair had been previously opened as the plastic feet were a bit soiled and one rattan was broken.... not a major problem however.  The chairs look great and are incredibly pleasant for sitting on the patio.  They rotate smoothly and also have some glide .... cushions are generous.  I would definitely buy again.
