The unit had multiple, visible, manufacturing flaws, not related to the transport, thus very disappointing to us.
Compared to the first identical chair delivered on Oct 10, 2023, this chair was difficult to assemble for a number of reasons.  First the finishing materials on the surface of the wood were plugging the alignment holes and had to be reamed out. Second, the surfaces were unevenly coated with runs and drips with spots that appear unfinished . Unfortunately, time constrained stopped us returning the product.
