Fairly easy to assemble. Make sure you count the hardware. We ordered 6 (3 boxes) and one box didn't have a complete set of hardware. Thank goodness we had other boxes with their left overs. Chairs are fairly comfy and are exactly what we expected. One set of chairs is "warped" - not square and lean a bit to the left but nothing worth returning. Also, the "feet" have already broken. Shoddy workmanship on those for sure. On two of them, the fabric wasn't stretched correctly and is all bunched and one of the caps on the bottom of the arm rest is cracked.
