The box came all beat up, seems like FedEx rolled it up to our driveway, although clearly stating handle with care. Anyway, there was no damage to the chair or the material. It came in two separate pieces, very simple to put together. The back slid right on the 2 brackets and clicked on to the base and under the base you’ll find the two wings that slide on either side of the back and you’re done! We plugged it in, the foot raised fully without the back reclining too low so you don’t have to worry about hitting the wall just to get the foot to raise which it was a nice feature if you’re watching TV as opposed to taking a nap. You can continue to recline and the back will go all the way down and that’s when you need the wall clearance behind you.￼
