I bought six of these chairs, and I love them! However, I had to get creative with assembly. The instructions were extremely cryptic, black-and-white, with written numbers and arrows over badly printed diagrams. There was some extra hardware, and the hardware list was inaccurate. However, it was an easy process for me to figure out how to get them together on my own. I had one wooden dowel snap in two trying to get it where it needed to be, but that is kind of my fault, and I super glued it together and it's holding strong. The last chair I assembled had a screw poke out of the side of the leg, so just generally be careful with assembly. Regardless of these problems (which I never reported) I highly recommend these chairs! You can't beat the price and shipping right to your door!
