I was really excited to recieve this chair , it was a gift for my Hunny for Fathers Day. When we recieved it it had no instructions but we figured it out (wanted to surprise him before he arrived from home) it took a bit of force, it was damaged in shipping process. BUT no problem we got it up & started! He loved it! I'm sure its not the best one out there, but it sure is NICE isn't bulky. It is sleek & dresses up our room. Great purchase price!!
