Though it is suggested in the instructions that this chair may take 2 to 3 persons to put together, I'm a woman 74 years of age; I had no problem putting it together, it just took me longer because of my age.  It's a beautiful chair and I already had 2 of them up with a folding leaf table and have been looking for 2 more chairs, which weren't available when I bought the table & chair set.  Two years later, they were available as a pair and I promptly ordered them  .  So glad I waited and did not settle for a substitute.  Thank you Wayfair!
