I put 4 of them together in under 1 hour. They are nice. As many other reviews indicate they are relatively light, probably can't put up with abuse. For me, I don't use them daily. I live alone and they are perfect for me. I think people that had a hard time stating some holes did not line up were not putting them on correctly. You have to put all the screws in first with just one to two turns, then torque them a little at a time going in a circular pattern. They are nice chairs especially for the money.
