While the chair itself is solid and attractive, it was EXTREMELY difficult to put together.  The drilled-in holes which are necessary to put chair together were not drilled properly therefore we stripped the screws, had to go buy new ones, and then ended  up making the holes for the screws bigger. Thankfully my strong husband (who also struggled) was here to help as there would have no way of me putting it together.  Needs to be easier to assemble.
