I'm in my 60's and assembling these was a little difficult. Especially screwing the seat on the frame as there were no holes for the screws. I got on seat on straight, but the other was crooked and had to be redone. I also used wood glue to hold the cross bars in the holes provided as they didn't seem sturdy as directed. Otherwise, once assembled, the chairs are very heavy, very solid and look nice. The color I ordered, Java, matched my mahogany dining table perfectly. 

Pros: Solid, heavy chair
Cons: A little difficult to assemble ~~ instructions not that great
