I'll start off the good: these chairs look nice and are very comfortable for the price. However, they are _extremely_ difficult to assemble without them having substantial wobble. The instructions say to loosen everything and do a "drop test" to align everything if there is a wobble. Each chair needed an extensive "build", "test", "drop", "loosen", "build" ... cycle which surely annoyed our downstairs neighbors. Instructions said each chair would take 30 mins to assemble, but I would estimate they took 1.5 hours each.
