The chair requires some assembly which would be fine, except it is very difficult to do so. You have to lay the chair and base on their sides and tighten bolts through a hole at the bottom of the base that isn’t really large enough to work through. On top of that only 3 of the 4 holes in the chair frame were drilled all the way through. The 4th whole does not line up and it doesn’t go all the way through, so there is no way to complete assembly of the chair and use it safely as it arrived.
