I cannot believe how well this chair is made as well as the fact that it reclines! It was easy to put to together with only a few parts and I am a 65 year old lady. Only issue I had was with the screws that go hold the chair back to the base. It was very hard for me to screw them. I needed a stronger person. Love Love Love this chair. And to think I will never have to paint it and all I need to do is hose it down when it gets dirty,
