My chair and ottoman arrived today, and with a little help from my daughter and son-in-law, we had both pieces put together in about 45 minutes. My only disappointment is that 2 of the 4 chair legs have long cracks in the wood--likely occurred when the holes were being drilled for the screws. Doubtful anyone will notice, as the oieced are in my second floor loft. Just the same, the should have taken greater care.
