Right out of the box, the packaging was efficient and secure. The box included four chairs. All of the metal pieces were wrapped in plastic to protect them from scratches, and the wooden handrails came pre-assembled to the armrests. The straight legs go in the front, while the angled legs go in the back. The chairs were easy to put together. First, assemble the legs and armrests, then attach the seat, and follow with the backrest.
The instructions included are mostly images with very little text. The five-step process was straightforward to follow. Each chair came with its own screws, washers, and Allen wrench, which was the only tool needed for assembly. There are both long and short screws, so be sure to use the correct ones for each step. One helpful tip in the instructions was to tighten the screws only about 80% at first, then complete the assembly, and finally tighten everything fully. This made alignment much easier. If you tighten the screws completely too early, it can make lining up the remaining holes more difficult. Following the 80% tightening recommendation helped everything come together smoothly. One person can assemble the chairs, but having two people makes the process easier—especially when holding pieces in place while the other person secures the screws. The first chair took about 45 minutes to assemble, while the next three took about 30 minutes each as the process became more familiar. Once assembled, the chairs felt sturdy and well-made. They are also comfortable to sit in, with supportive armrests and breathable woven seating that should be nice even on warmer days. They have a natural, stylish look that works well for an outdoor patio space. One thing to note: the chairs are not stackable.
