Unit is well-packed (be ready to spend 20 minutes unwinding polyfoam wrapper from every scratchable surface when you unpack it!).  Assembly is fairly straightforward.  My advice is to work backwards from the instructions and assemble the ottoman part of the chair 1st -- that uses up most of the screws and all of the washer in a very obvious way, leaving you less parts to puzzle over when you tackle the assembly of the chair itself.
Some folks on here commented that the seat needs a bit more padding and I concur with this.
But mechanically the my unit functioned perfectly and it looks very nice.  

Pros: Mechanical correct and smooth, looks nice, great protective packaging for shipping
Cons: Made in China and made in China assembly instuctions -- which are a bit muddled in a couple places.
