I bought these in red. Wasn't difficult to put them together, but it did take some elbow grease to get the pegs to line up with the holes in some cases. I'm 5'5"(longer waisted, shorter legs) and have decided I'll need small poufs or ottomans in front of each. I can just reach the ground with my toes which makes rocking a little hard without those accessories, but the rockers seem sturdy and look great. Will be enjoying my porch this summer!
