I had been stalking these chairs for months and dreaming about them.  They are not too comfortable and yet comfortable enough.  Do I see myself napping while reading a book , probably not.  I tried putting these together and thought I would have to send them back.  The back connects to the seat. Two piece chair.  I used the assembly service wayfair uses because I was determined to have theses chairs.  In an  hour plus he got two chairs ready to sit in.  It was worth the 100 dollars to have it done for me.
