My wife and I bought 2 of these rocking chairs. They arrived ahead of scheduled delivery and were safely packaged. We put together one in the evening and the other in the a.m. It took us approximately an hour for each chair. They are handsome looking chairs made of high quality and very sturdy. When you put them together make sure there are two of you and that you DO NOT tighten the nuts until the very last step. The tool provided is not user friendly. We used a ratchet for the final tightening. Do not over tighten.
