This chair is great! I was able to put it together on my own and it was really easy. The key is to wait until the end to tighten the screws. You have to push the back up a little to get the side holes to line up properly. The only thing that I can see being an issue is the lack of cushion support in the middle of the seat. If you’re crafty, you can add more cushion inside the bottom. It doesn’t bother me that much. It’s a beautiful chair and a perfect addition to my home.
