These chairs arrived with basic instructions in the form of like 4 picture diagrams. Now, to be fair, theyre in 2 pieces each, not counting the small hardware. Its not rocket science to assemble them but the legs are basically an x pattern support with legs that come down from the 4 corners. The top is indented on 2 parts of the y and nothing in the instructions indicates what part of the chair corresponds to which part of the base. To avoid having to screw the pieces on multiple times, I put the seat on the base both ways and had my niece sit on it and tell me which way felt natural. From the fit and tilt of the seat, it seems that the rounded part of the seat (towards the back where your butt would be), goes over the indented portion of the x. Then you just use a washer, spring washer and the provided Allen wrench to attach the chair to the base. The base is hollow metal in a light colored wood print finish. Theres something loose in mine that rattles when the base is turned but its not like Ill be flipping these over on a regular basis. The velvet fabric covering the chairs is a gorgeous deep emerald green. Its a very soft, short pile velvet. Unfortunately, the stitching is a little rough. There are quite a few loose threads at the seams and then some places where the stitching doesnt go all the way to meet the other corner so theres gaps in the fabric. Theyre pretty and theyll look good once the threads are trimmed. I might use some mighty mend it just to close the little holes
Pretty deep emerald color, rough stitching
