First of all when opening the package, some of the parts were wrapped in newspaper which I thought was odd but there were no visible defects so my husband continued with assembly. It was easy to assemble but seemed flimsy. You could bend the back slats just by pushing on them and then the first time someone sat in it, one of the bottom supports that runs side to side along underneath the seat of the chair broke right in the middle. Now the chair is completely unusable and way fair won't accept returns on assembled items. I'm very unhappy with this purchase and the wasted money.
