The chairs came as advertised. They were delayed by the extreme snow conditions in my area but still came within a reasonable time frame. I was most pleasantly surprised by how very easy the assembly was.  The seat and back support came assembled which left the legs and cross frames for assembly. No glue here! The assembly uses thru bolting which is extremely strong. The legs are attached to a wooden support board which is, in turn, is screwed into pre-drilled holes in the underside of the seat base. If this sounds complicated, it is not. The only tool, allen wrench, is provided. The quality greatly passes their cost.
