Unfortunately, only two of the four screws could be applied--the holes in the metal pieces did not align correctly to allow the other two to be inserted. Consequently, I don't expect the chair to last very long. I was busy and missed the return window (not sure it would have been worth the return postage to return at any rate). I've been using the chair anyway, and it's just OK--wish the height went higher. I love the look of the chair, but would not buy it again.
