I’m glad I read the reviews before hand, it was easy to assemble when I knew what to expect. The holes do not match up, so start from the middle screws and move out words. Also the wooden buttons you put in after words do not fit, so you have to hammer them in. Put cloth over them when hammering so you don’t ruin the finish. With 
that being said I love this arm chair!! It’s sturdy and comfortable, and they look so good. They do not have a high back, but you still get good support. A few scratches on the wood, but for the price, I’d hardly complain. Very happy with my purchase!!!!
