I, unfortunately, was not responsible for putting the chair together, so I don't have a lot of information to offer. Overall, from what I could tell from the next room over construction wasn't too much of a pain.

The build quality is okay. I'm using four of these for a college apartment and it definitely looks nice, it's just not quite as fantastic when you're sitting on them. The faux-suede padding on the seat and the back are soft and comfortable, although I don't know how well it stands up to spills etc. The padding is a bit thin, perhaps a little too thin for the price point, but for a meal it will be comfortable enough. The legs are pretty sturdy, but the back has a worrying about of give that makes me wonder how little force it might take to accidentally break one of these.

These will probably last another few years, but for the cost I wish I could be a little more certain about that.
