I purchased these chairs after several months-long search for the perfect additions to complete my little book nook. I wanted something affordable, but still durable and large enough for me to get comfortable in while I read.
While these aren't ideal reading chairs (I consider the ideal standard to include huge, comfy chairs that I can curl up in to read), these are an excellent alternative. They are large enough for me to sit Indian-style or with my legs curled to the side while I read. They are also incredibly beautiful. The backs of the chairs (I ordered two) are visible the way I have them set up, so it was important to me to find chairs that looked good from all angles.
Assembly was super easy. Mine did not come with any instructions, but simply looking at a photo of the chairs made it obvious where the legs belong. Upon delivery, the legs were stored beneath the chair; just look beneath the seat and unzip to find them. Only tool needed was an Allen wrench (hex key) which is included with the legs and bolts. One of my chairs came with an Allen wrench that was too small, so I could not use it to screw in the legs. Fortunately my other chair had one that was the appropriate size; I would have been SUPER disappointed had I not been able to assemble them when they came. I was so anxious to set them up! (Side note: I taped the Allen wrench under the chair seat, hidden by the zippered area, so that I can quickly find it should I need to tighten the chair legs in the future.)
All in all, I am very pleased with these chairs. They look significantly more expensive than they were, they serve their current purpose in my reading nook and they will easily transition to any other room in my house should the need arise.
