My husband and I put them together which took about 1.5 hours.  I think most people will find them a descent buy for the money.  I would have liked the back to be a little higher and the cushions a bit firmer.  The weave was off a bit on one of the chairs (I bought 4) and one of the chairs was missing the little feet that goes into the bottom of  the legs.  Overall, I am happy with them.
