The chair is a nice simple design, and cedar for this price is a good deal (I got it on sale). The assembly, however, is not good. The lag bolt in particular, which attaches the back to the rest of the chair, does not grab the screws adequately. A few of my parts were mislabeled (L) for (R). And I'm pretty handy with put-together furniture, being a tool girl and having assembled at least 6 different IKEA pieces. This was not a good experience.
