Our set arrived but we can't assemble the chairs because there is no fastener/bolt to pin the chair back to the chair seat. Any ideas?

I ordered the same chairs. Sounds like something is missing in the shipment

No assembly at all! Could not have been easier. I think we had to fold out the legs to the table and put in wooden pegs, but nothing else. Chairs came stacked. Only metal hardware is plaque on back of chairs showing brand and also filled for umbrella hole. WE LOVE THIS SET!

Hi Mary: I have the same problem with the bolt caps on the chairs I purchased. At this time I have done nothing hoping that some corrosion will develop on the bolt heads so that the plastic caps will adhere more firmly. If the does not work, I have purchased paint the exact shade of brown so that I can paint bolt heads and scrap the plastic covers. I have thought about gluing the plastic caps on the bolt heads but that would block access to the slots in the screws if they need to be removed. I have recommended that the manufacturer paint the bolt heads to eliminate this headache.

Be sure the table locks are off and the table is in the down position. Then, with one hand on either side of the short side of the seat, push the sides together. It's a little hard, which to me means the chairs are VERY sturdy and not easy to collapse. Voila!

Chairs are unassembled, you need put it together. The back and two back legs are one piece, seat cushion is one piece, two front legs are two pieces. You need screw them together.

In my case, the instructions were in the shipping box, possibly in one of the plastic bags holding the various nuts, bolts and useless plastic parts. The instructions can be found at http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/91KSp3xpxPS.pdf There is not a lot to the assembly process. Use you own tools. Also, the plastic feet at the base of the chair are fragile. Don't over tighten them or the feet will crack in half. Otherwise, the chairs are fine for patio use. No problems at this point.

Assembly instructions were in the box the chair was shipped in. Contact the manufacturer if no instructions came with the chair.

Just hold the seat down (firmly) and start screwing in the screws. That will work.

None whatsoever... The chair is collapsible, so has to be opened up. But no assembly.

It Has Been Almost A Year But From What I Can Remember You Have To Get Under The Chair On The Back Side To Put The Bolts On To Hold The Back Rest On. It Is Easier If You Have One Person Holding The Back Rest While You Try To Line Up The Holes. If You Have More Specific Question I Might Be Able To Direct Easier. I Am Not Any Place Near My Chair At The Moment.

you have to just put the legs on...it's easy..except one leg on one chair is off...seems to be a problem with most of them...it's a nice set and you could live with the shorter leg...we are.

I just remember when I went to put my chair together it was like the springs were backwards. It took my husband using extreme force to get them to work. I would have to look at my chair to see how many springs total and were they are located, unfortunately it's at work. I will check tomorrow.

The chairs are swivel however I would warn that they are very hard to put together. On our set, most of the screw/bolt holes did not line up with the parts they were supposed to so my husband had to rig up a way to create the alignment. I have read that this was a common problem with this set and in particular about the chairs.

Honestly, I've only had one screw fall out in the 2 years I've had the chairs. I secured the screws tightly when I put the chairs together. If this continues for you contact the company for assistance...could be a flaw with the screws or holes they align with.

No, but my one suggestion would be to add wood glue as you put in the screws. My chairs are a little wobbly now, and I wish I had done that.
