Yup, definitely made in China. Instructions state 2 people can put this together in 15 minutes - lies. Maybe if the bars didn't come bent and you didn't need the weight of two adults to force things into place. Try 1.5 hours. Not to mention the "wicker" wrapping around the frame was unraveling before I even took the bubble wrap off. For the cost of this chair plus the shipping, I expected better. Do not recommend.
