Just finished assembling yesterday. Not hard at all. Comfortable and attractive. Hopefully they will hold up well. Changed my review from 5 to 3 stars. Love the set but within 2 or 3 days of receiving my order Wayfair dropped the price $70. When I called they said they no longer make price adjustments. Had it been a month or more, understood but this was a matter of just a few days. Going forward I will delay ordering as long as possible to wait for sales.
