I was having high hopes for this chair and was very excited to receive it. Upon unboxing, my husband immediately noticed parts of the wood that are cracked. I cannot trust to assemble it as these wood in question are pretty much the foundation of the chair.

UPDATE Wayfair sent me new wood parts immediately and no more hairline cracks. Although there was a chip at one of the feet, but no longer visible once assembled. New wood parts sent were much lighter than the original though (a few shades darker than natural wood), and i’m not mad about it - I actually like them better. I now love my armchair!
