E Exactly what I had envisioned. Assembly said 30 minutes for one person my husband and I are in our 60s took us a little over an hour and a half to put each chair together and we purchased four of them.
Attractive, sturdy furniture, relatively easy to put together. Can definitely do it by yourself (I did), but you may need an electric screwdriver or drill to hold the square drive bit provided with the rockers to screw in about 8 screws (the rest of the screws can be done by hand with a tool provided with the rockers).
I bought 4 adirondacks, 2 dining adirondacks, and 2 rocking chairs and the rocking chairs took at least twice as long to put together as the others. You really need to get the cross braces in all the way (hammer) and I had to loosen up/re-do some bolts to get the seat lined up. I did strip out the provided wrench (actually 2 of them) as well but since I bought so many, had extra to spare. However, once together - I really do like the look and durability. The back is a bit "upright" so if you want to lean back, I would advise the other rocker model they carry. Hard to assemble but once done, they are great
Um...the bomb-dot-come. Love these! They hold up to Midwestern winters, are sturdy, and can be more comfortable with a lumbar pillow--another opportunity to decorate the porch!
