Extremely firm chair. Not comfortable for lengthy sitting, but a beautiful chair. The back of the chair, side panels, and legs were zipped up in the bottom of the chair, along with two pieces of foam. Two of the legs were dented, so I put those on the back. No pre- drilled holes to attach the legs, so I had a neighbor drill the holes for me. Dumb design on the side attachments. Why not just have them attached?  The top is tufted so it's difficult to pull the fabric back to attach the side panel There is a stop on the bottom of the metal so you can't push it from the bottom and then upwards.  One panel will not go down all the way down so I have a perpetual gap. I have no idea what the two pieces of foam are for.
