The aesthetics, assembly instructions and ease of putting this together get an easy 5 stars! Took me 20 minutes to put it together. You don’t need any additional equipment to assemble it. 

The comfort isn’t that great. It’s not uncomfortable but I was definitely expecting more. The cushion and backing are a little bit stiff. There isn’t a ton of give when rocking back and forth. 

The height adjustment lever is excellent and I like that the armrests can be adjusted.
