It was impossible for me to put the arms on myself.  I needed to hire a contractor to get those screws in.  I have since seen in cheaper just about everywhere - including Amazon.  I have also seen other white faux leather chairs that looks nicer.  But this one does match the "Contemporary Vinyl Adjustable Height Bucket Seat Bar Stool" that I also bought in white.  They both have the diamond pattern, so look great in the same room.
