Instructions were alright, if you are handy you probably wont need them. The wicker is plastic and do cover stone of the bolt holes. Try to carefully move the plastic wicker away from the holes, do not cut the plastic wicker because it will probably break. I had a hole that looked like a bolt had been pushed through leaving the plastic barely holding on and that broke while putting a bolt through the hole. If this happens, break it the hot melt glue gun and glue ther plastic wicker back into place going at least 1/2 both sides from the break and you should be good. One month of having 2 of these and both are fine, no issues with bearings. I like to blow graphite in to help lubricate things but I tend to go over and beyond on preventative maintenance on most things. The chairs will hold me and turn my almost 200lbs but I wouldnt recommend daily use of anyone my size. My kids at 60lbs and 120lbs turn much easier than with me on the chairs. I recommend checking out the chairs thoroughly, especially how the bearings roll and sound before putting out together. If they sound rough like sand is in it, do not move easily or catch anywhere then ask for a replacement. We are happy with ours.
Good chair for kids
