Assembled chairs are great.  However, the assembly was not so easy.  This was partially my fault, and partially the fault of those who decided not to include written instructions.  

Let me warn future buyers that the rungs that go between the legs are not all the same length, and you need to put the ones without holes drilled for screws on top (closest to the seat).  Also, a rubber mallet is useful, as the rungs fit very tightly into the holes drilled for them.  The screws used to secure the rungs can be hard for an arthritic person like me to turn in, and in 1 case (out of 12), the starting hole for the screw was at an angle such that the screw was visible between the rung and the leg (a problem solved by simply removing the screw and not tightening the rung in that one socket).  

The finally assembled chairs, however, are very solid and stable, and are a perfect addition to my dinette table.
