Wonderful! I am an overweight, 71 year old female with a bad hip and little upper body strength. I put the first chair together sitting on my fireplace ledge in 1 1/2 hour and the 2nd one in an hour! The only problems I had were when screws met some resistance but all were really something I did not have lined up properly. Slight adjustment and done! Comfortable, advantages of an office chair with look and feel of dining room chairs. (As I was finishing the 2nd one I remembered I had a ratchet screw driver with allen wrench bits in the other room. Would have been even easier and faster.)
