I purchased the Strouse Task Chair in slate; the color is beautiful!  The chair arrived in one box and had to be assembled.  It comes with everything you need to assemble; it was very easy and quick.  I put it together in approx. 10-15 minutes.  While working in my home office I like to sit cross legged; I was pleased to see that the seat is large enough to do so.  Overall, beautiful chair, easy to put together and comfortable.
