Came nicely packed and was easy to sort for the proper parts. As someone who has assembled a lot of chairs in their life this one was slightly harder and easier at the same time. The arm rest which I usually have difficulty with other models were easier. Meanwhile, the top and bottom connected pieces, which I normally find easy to attach was hard. Other than the stool arm being slightly lower and in the way of the mechanism that controls the recline, everything is in good order.
