I bought 4 total chairs (so I ordered 2 of this listing and these come 2 chairs to a box). First box I opened and was super impressed. They had a black piece of fabric that velcroed under the seat to hide where you assemble the legs on and everything. All the screws lined up and I flew threw assembling them in under 30 minutes by myself. Opened the second box and even though they were the same chair the assembly was completely different. Also the screws were different and there was no nifty Velcro fabric. Totally tore my hands up basically forcing the screws in w/ the wrench they give you (you have to go through a diagonal piece then straight towards the back of the chair and Incase you dont know/ screws dont bend like that!) So if you receive box 1 its an easy 5 stars. Easy assembly, and chairs are gorgeous and sturdy after assembled. Box 2 Id give 3 stars just based on the pain in the butt assembly (side note since when did instructions change to picture only Itd be nice if there were at least a few written directions instead of trying to dissect where the lines they draw are meant to go). Beautiful pieces though and a steal at this price!
