Extremely easy assembly! Took me around 10 minutes total to assemble. I love the mesh material because I know it won’t peel like faux leather. This was for my kid’s study room and with all their fidgeting, climbing, bouncing, etc, I needed to make sure it would hold up, hence the material choice. Adjustable height lever works smoothly and isn’t fragile since my kid likes to mess around with that some times. All in all, good sturdy chair, especially for rambunctious individuals.
