I'd seen reviews that said these were difficult to put together. Supposedly the instructions don't clarify the difference between the front and rear legs. I don't know because I didn't read them.  Common sense did a fine job of clarifying the difference. The back legs are completely different!  You'd have to have never seen a chair before to put the legs on backwards!!!  Assembly was really easy and fast.

That being said, mine were a returned clearance item and one of the 4 chairs I ordered was missing a small piece of hardware (hence my 4 star review).  I picked it up at Lowes for about $0.79 and was good to go.  The chairs are beautiful and everyone who has walked in my house has complimented them. The seats are a bit high for my short legs, but I just put a little foot rest under the chair I sit in.  Everyone else has loved the height.

I've been using these daily for a month and they are still sturdy and have not changed.
