I just received the chair in good condition. The only assembly required is screwing the feet in. It really is a beautiful chair for the price in may opinion. The seat cushion is wide and comfortable but the back is hard and short. I would recommend buying a nice pillow that complements the chair for better back support. The chair itself is well built but the feet seem a little bit shaky. I wouldn't recommended sliding the chair if it has to be moved. I'm already thinking I may have to replace a broken foot or two down the line. Other than that the chair is very nice and it definitely stands out in a room.
