This chair was not easy to assemble. Most of my furniture I have assembled myself so I’m pretty familiar with vague directions and bad diagrams however this chair just has a bad design. It is back heavy so it will need to be up against a wall. That’s IF the back slides fit properly. I bought two of these and only am able to use one of these chairs with the miscellaneous parts from both I was able to put one chair together that is now in a guest room in the corner so it doesn’t fall overapart. Looks great but very bad engineering.
