The chairs seem well-made, especially for the price (we bought an open box which had all the pieces and no damage), but were not that easy to assemble.  You definitely need 2 people as indicated.  It took a lot of strength (pushing with all your weight) to make the second side of the legs come together and attach to the seat. The instructions indicate not to completely tighten the screws until the end which is very important to follow.  The chair is not that comfortable to sit in but pillows and cushions help. The red color was more on the orange-red spectrum.
