We ordered this as part of a set ~ and one of the chairs went together fairly easily.  However, one of the chairs was so off (holes misaligned by up to an inch!) that it took over 3 hour and lots of manhandling/2 people pushing and holding things in place while another screwed things together as best possible) to get it to go together, and we were never able to full screw in 2 of the bolts. Note that the other 3 parts of the set went together very easily, so we assume the one chair had a bent frame.
