It was fairly simple to put the 6 pieces together (6 bolts total and multiple smaller screws). The seat and back came pre-assembled. Good quality materials that feel sturdy and similar to real wood. Color and finish matched photos well. They’re comfortable! The seat might sit slightly higher than the average Adirondack chair. Seems like they’ll last for years so I’m happy with my purchase. Btw, they are heavy (which is good for staying outdoors in the wind and weather) and they don’t fold up.
