I love the chairs, but they did take a lot longer to assembly than I expected they would.  The assembly project wasn't difficult at all, just time consuming.  Love the look and design which is just what I've been wanting.  They definitely look the same in person as they do in the photo.  The quality is about what I expected for the price.  All in all it wasn't a bad purchase.  I'd give the chairs a 4 1/2 out of 5 if that were an option.
