Bought 6, put together in 30 minutes or under for each chair. If you arent handy (like my cranky Jewish boyfriend) youll drop a couple F bombs, pout, give up and go eat a bagel and complain about it for an hour because holes dont line up BUT that isnt a problem for those who wield tape measures and power tools like I do. Directions were very clear. Pilot holes werent always there, just a dot to where it might go. The wood is so soft you didnt need a pilot unless it was on a knot. Only once I had to drill a pilot hole because of that very reason.
The staining is shoddy but I planned to paint/seal later. They were cheaper than unfinished ones anyway! The size is ok. We arent overweight, we are under 150 pounds so fits perfectly. I think with care and sealing, these will last a couple seasons. Id definitely buy again. Dont buy if youre not willing to put in extra time to put these together properly and stain etc. They arent perfect but with added TLC they really come close enough!
Good buy!
