I'm happy I ordered this chair. I'm pleased with its quality of materials, all of them from the wood to hardware. I was also pleased it wasn't that hard to assemble. I was nearly able to do it myself, having the use of just one arm.I did have to call a neighbor for the last few pieces but it didn't take long for us to finish up. Always nice not to expect much and then to be pleasantly surprised. Thanks Birch Lane!
