The 2 chairs I ordered arrived in good time and good shape. Despite what others have said, the assembly was fairly easy, with all the hardware provided and all the holes drilled as they should be. The first chair was assembled by my husband in 1-1/2 hours, the 2nd in one hour.  He glued each joint as he went, as well, for a more secure bonding and to eliminate any squeaking.
Later, he applied 2 coats of varnish as they will beused on the front porch. 

The chairs are very sturdy and quite beautiful, though they are not as comfortable as I had hoped.  I ordered rectangular pillows which should fit in the small of the back to make them more user friendly.

All in all, a very good purchase & they look great.
