I love the chair and ottoman. It’s simple to put together, but takes time and patience. You can only screw in the 4 screws 12 turn at a time because you hit the sides of the chair.  It took me about 15 minutes to screw them in. I recommend a good bottle of wine and some good music, which is how I did it.  It’s lighter than I thought it would be. The specifications said it weighed 36 pounds but it weighs less than that. I live on the 20th floor of a high rise building right on Lake Michigan. The winds get very intense up here so in the winter, I will have to weight it down with sand bags to keep it from blowing away.  But that being said, it’s very comfortable and I am sitting in it right now overlooking the Lake.  I do think it was a little pricey for what it is, but I like it well enough and I am most definitely not going through the hassle of sending it back.  So it stays.
