Chairs arrived in excellent condition, packaged well, and protected for shipment. Assembly was performed by my father, who’s 70 years old,with only minor difficulty. Hole alignments for attachment of arm rests to back and seat assemblies were perfect, but it is very important to assemble finger tight allowing freedom of the chair parts to move, relative to each assembly part so that bolts may be properly aligned to the threaded, welded nut.In assembly, the chairs look great.
