These were very easy to assemble. Two chairs took me about ten minutes total.They arrived in the box very well wrapped and packaged so the material stayed clean and the frame was protected from scratches or damage. The chairs are very comfortable and look so good! The model home when we bought our home recently was staged with these chairs at the dining table and I was so excited to find them on here and be able to use them like the professional stager had done placing one at each head of the table. We absolutely love them! They look expensive and are very sturdy and excellent quality.
