Bought two as a Christmas present. The instructions weren't bad but there were a few times when it wasn't completely clear which piece was needed. After trial and error I figured it out. The pieces were pre drilled which helped but sometimes the screws didn't match the indicated point of entry to secure it. Was easy to adjust by eyeballing where the piece should go.
They are sturdy and was complimented on the look and color of the wood. The first chair took longer than 45 minutes to put together but the second one was quicker than 45 minutes. They are comfortable and fit what I consider the average size person to be (normal people). I would recommend these to anyone and would buy them again if I need more for the fire pit area.
