The chairs themselves are fairly simple to assemble, as they come mostly put together, and the only thing the purchaser must do is attach the legs. That said, the hardware situation is a complete disaster. On both of the chairs I purchased, the plastic bag which was suppose to hold all the hardware were ripped, and therefore, all the hardware (8 screws, 8 washers, 8 lock/washers, an allen wrench/hex key, and 4 little felt pads that are supposed to go on the bottom of the legs so they dont scratch the floor, were all strewn about INSIDE the armchair. That doesnt sound like that much of a nightmare. Trust me, it was. The chairs are not made to be able to access the inside of the chair, and so thus ensued an infuriating game of SHAKE THE CHAIR. The hardware took its sweet time coming out in a making it rain type fashion, but because of the nature of the chairs construction, and the light weight of the washers, lock/washers, and felt pads, things were getting stuck behind wood panels. It was annoying, to say the least. On one of the chairs, only 7 screws were rained forth from the chair, so I actually had to go buy another screw so I could finish the assemble. Crap/tastic.
That said, they look nice when assembled, and are decent shape for the price. Three stars. Its an okayish good product.
Look great / but hardware situation is a disaster
