These are heavy chairs because they are made with hardwood, not the cheep partical board. A lot of purchasers complained about holes not lining up, this is untrue if you know how assemble things. I am very happy with the purchase...
How to assemble the chair:
Attach legs, but do not tighten the screws holding the legs.
Attach the ring to the legs.
After attaching the ring, it is time to tighten the legs screws. You will want to tighten the screws until they are snug. Do this for all the legs.
Then tighten the screws holding the ring.
Then go bag to the legs and tighten them too.
Now attach the back rest, but start with the center hole. You will not want to tighten the screw all the was, just enough to hold the backrest.
Now attach they other 4 screws.
Having a powered screwdriver is recommended but now required...
