I have never in my life seen such a well packaged product that has clear directions for assembling. The directions suggest two people but I am a 74 year old woman with arthritic hand issues and I was easily able to assemble the on my own. My suggestion is to be patient and follow the directions as laid out.
I am impressed by the quality of the dove tail joints, the fact that there are brass fittings in each of the holes that the seats legs screw into and the quality of the is very impressive.
One suggestion: when tting the screws into the holes, if there is resistance it simply means you need to get the angle of the screw just right and the screws will go in easily. Also, when tting on the seat, place the center screw first, the side screws. As per the directions, dont tighten them really tight before you perform the drop test which will level the legs. I rchased 2 more of these chairs and they were also perfect.
I must add that they arrived by USPS within a few days of placing my order and unlike packages received by UPS, they were not damaged.
Great product! Looks exactly as pictured
