The chair is great, it feels sturdy and comfortable and is big enough for me to sit cross-legged in (Im a 57 woman). I love how it looks and it was a good price.  I assembled it by myself without much difficulty.  Two small negatives the assembly directions couldve been a little clearer re which end of the frame is updownfrontback, but its not impossible to figure out. Id suggest laying everything out on the floor in order before actually screwing it together. The left and right sides in my package were mislabeled. Also there were strange translucent fibers (fiberglass) all over the inside of the packaging. I dont know what it came from but it was itchy and I was concerned I was I inhaling some of it. It does not seem to be on or in the chair itself. Overall, Im really pleased with the chair.
