This is a great chair and it took maybe 30 minutes for me to put together by myself. We just built out this patio and it’s the first item I placed on there. I’m pretty handy but it the instructions were a little bit confusing since the screws were mislabeled and different than the images but I worked it out (though the Florida heat also contributed to the difficulty). Looks great on our patio and the cushions do not retain water, even after a significant rainfall, of which we receive many in my tropical coastal city. Highly recommend!
