I love this chair. It was fairly easy and quick to put together. However, at one point I did need a helping hand from my husband. I more or less just needed an extra pair of eyes because I couldn’t quite see what I was trying to do at one point. It fits perfectly in the space I wanted it for, too. I purchased the grey so it is not velvet just in case anyone was wondering. I like the fabric a lot and love the nailhead detail.
